[ILUG] dd/rawwrite for win2k ?

[cybersean3000 at yahoo.com]

I believe there are two command shells with W2k.  Command.exe is the 16 
bit "DOS" interpreter, and cmd.exe is the 32 bit flavor. If you look at 
the top of a new shell session, you can see the difference

cmd.exe:
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version x.xx.xxxx]
(C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.

command.exe
Microsoft (R) Windows DOS
(C) Copyright Microsoft Corp 1990-1999.

Another difference is how long directory and file names are referenced; 
which may be one of the issues with the 16 bit DOS rawrite.exe.
