RE: [h-e-w] File associations with gnuserv

[Sprenger, Karel]

Hi,

It seems that they are indeed internal commands (like dir) for CMD.EXE.  If 
"assoc /?" and/or "ftype /?" produce something intelligent in your command box, 
you're in business.

Cheers,
Karel

Hi,

Are ftype and assoc part of the MS command processor?  I can't seem to find
them on my XP Pro system (although they work fine).

Thanks,
Jeff
