I then used XP's command.com and got the cryptic message 'cyclic redundancy
error'.


I don't use Windows XP, but I know that its command interpreter is
actually cmd.exe.


What's this then ?

Type of file: MS-DOS Application
Description: command
Location: C:\WINDOWS\system32
Size: 49.4 KB (50,620 bytes)

As I said, I'm basically ignorant of XP, and what little I know about
it I learnt from watching alt.msdos.batch, and by working
[reluctantly] on friends' machines.

In any case other XP users have suggested that you would be better off
using cmd.exe. In fact, if I were to include just one feature of XP in
Win98SE, it would be XP's extensions to batch language.
