This came up in Quotes hell but is perhaps worthy of its own thread.

Precisely as the subject line says, typing

mount c c:"

in DOSBox works for some reason, and produces the message

Drive C is mounted as local directory C:"\

It's unclear exactly what DOSBox ends up mounting in this case; the resulting C drive appears to have no files on it.

Granted, there's very little reason someone would purposefully type the command in question, but perhaps it is indicative of some potentially greater problem.

Z:\>mount c c:"

Directory c:" doesn't exist.

Not here, using SVN r3858. Try creating a file on that C:"\ drive, exit DosBox, and see where it ends up on your computer.

I keep forgetting about this. I tried it again just now with r3858 and the same thing happens. This is Windows 7 x64, with regional settings in English.

Attempting to copy a file results in the following:

D:\>copy blah.txt c:
Copy failure : c:.
0 File(s) copied.

D:\>copy blah.txt c:\
Copy failure : c:\.
0 File(s) copied.
