I have written a simple installation program in Turbo Pascal and am having
trouble executing DOS commands from within this program.

If the user types "a:install" everything works fine.  But, if they log to
the floppy first, then run install ( A:\>install <cr> ) things choke.

Specifically, the destination directory is not created and so the files
are all copied into a file in the root directory.  I use the Turbo Pascal
command exec() to call the following command:

    \command.com /C md C:\DEST

I also had trouble logging drives and changing directories under program
control, but got around that by haveing the install program create the
appropriate batch file, then executing it...

Question: am I missing something? Why don't the DOS commands work the
same as at the command line??
