Eraserd probs

[scrumpus]

Hello all,
please excuse me if this is basic-knowledge question.[]

In windows(98) explorer I have identified the win386.swp file as being in C:windows, but when I boot to MSDOS and run eraserd then type;
eraserd -file C:windowswin386.swp -passes3
it doesnt work. Any ideas?

Cheers!

Crogra~1Erasereraserd -file C:Windowswin386.swp -passes 3
or alternatively,
cd Crogra~1Erasereraserd -file C:Windowswin386.swp -passes 3
Also, notice the space between "-passes" and "3". If this doesnt help, please post the exact error message you get when trying to run the command.
