INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Back in 1993, for those who weren&t around, Windows still ran on top of DOS
At the time, this pilot fish is a consultant, installing a new laser printer for a customer
But the Windows 3.1 computer won&t install all the drivers from the floppy
(Kids, you might want to check Wikipedia on that one, too.)So fish gets on his CompuServ account (yeah, this Tank is a regular time
machine), finds the driver is available, and downloads it
But the driver won&t load because it is finding remnants of the old driver in the Windows/drivers folder.Fish then does a dir aa*.* (where
&aa& is the prefix of the drivers) and gets a listing
He does a cursory scan to be sure there isn&t anything else in the list that would cause a problem if deleted — and promptly enters del
*.* instead of del aa*.*.
