OSINIT.PL seems to be set up to cope only with WIN32 systems ... or
rather, I presume it is, because it doesn't work on my
MSDOS6.22/WfWG3.11 system.
Under my system,the OS type is returned as "dos" -- which currently
isn't recognised -- OSINIT.PL checks only for a string containing
"win"
The fix only needs a simple change to one line.
Lines 65-69 of OSINIT.PL read:
------------
} elsif (($^O !~ /cygwin/i) &&
($^O =~ /win/i) &&
($tmp = $ENV{'COMSPEC'}) &&
($tmp =~ /[a-zA-Z]:\\/) &&
(-e $tmp)) {
------------
That should be:
------------
} elsif (($^O !~ /cygwin/i) &&
($^O =~ /win/i) &&
(($^O =~ /win/i) || ($^O =~ /dos/i)) &&
($tmp =~ /[a-zA-Z]:\\/) &&
(-e $tmp)) {
------------
I hope this can be incorporated in future releases.
Best wishes,
Claire
