Hmm... Very strange... It -should- work... What does %NETDRV% get
replaced with? What DOS version are you using? What command
interpreter (COMMAND.COM/4DOS)? In any case, it is not a problem of
SCAN; it is a problem of the operating environment you are using...

[Moderator's note: I agree that this appears to be a problem with the
operating environment, and I'd like to request that follow-ups get
handled via e-mail, with the exception of a follow-up summary of the
solution (if anyone cares to post one).]

Regards,
Vesselin
