You're right, mkdir( "C:\\folder1" ) will always work.
I must have convinced myself wrongly at the start, years ago.

With regards to networks, you've also resolved that, since I was trying to
go:-
chdir( "\\\\networkpc" );
instead of
chdir( "\\\\networkpc\\folder1" );
I naturally thought that networkpc was equivalent to the Drive, not the PC
itself.
It returned error, so could go no further.

It's not so obvious unless you actually have a network.
I've now tried to set one up, but was unable to set up the other PC (Win95).
However, I did manage to get my main PC to act as a network - on its own<g>
It might seem pointless, but it has allowed me to check my final code, since
I can pass the string "\\\\networkpc\\folder1" and it does create the folder
on my Local C drive.
Hopefully it will also work on the customer's network PC.

Do you think this is a valid test? (It's the best I can currently do).

Regards Al.
