Hi, running dosbox 0.74-2 when I enter a command such as "copy *.dta *.ppp" I get a "copy failure" message for each file being copied and ends "0 Files(s) Copied." In short any copy command using wildcards fails.
Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks
David

I'd try this approach:
1. Make temporary subdirectory
2. Copy *.dta to temporary subdirectory
3. Do batch rename to *.ppp in temporary subdirectory with REN
4. Move *.ppp to original directory
5. Delete temporary subdirectory's contents
6. Remove temporary subdirectory
