RULES
Syntax:  FILENAME.EXT  Type the period ("dot")!  DOS filenames are in an "eight dot three" format.
Multiple files may be specified; separate each filename with a space.
Wild cards (<*> and <?>) are allowed.
DOS converts filenames to upper-case, so case does not matter.
The file will normally be specified in an error message as (example) C:DEMO\REVDIST.AR; type only the REVDIST.AR portion.
