RENDIR                                   John Dickinson
Renames a directory			    Version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------

Purpose
-------
Permits renaming subdirectories directly, without
creating a new directory, moving the contents of the
old one into it, and then removing the old directory.

Format
------

    RENDIR [d:][path]oldname[.ext] newname[.ext]

Remarks
-------
DOS has always provided a REName command for filenames,
but not for directories. A bug in DOS 3.0 permits you
to use the immediate mode of BASIC to

    NAME olddir AS newdir

but this bug has been removed from subsequent DOS
versions. RENDIR.COM permits renaming directories in
DOS 3.0 and later.

While RENDIR allows you to change the name of a
directory on another drive than your current one, it
does not permit you to transfer a directory to another
drive by RENDIRing it. Thus, for example, if you are on
drive C: and have a directory on drive D: named \TAXES,
from the C> prompt you can

    RENDIR D:\TAXES \TAXES92

You cannot, however

    RENDIR D:\TAXES C:\TAXES92

Furthermore, you should not use RENDIR to try to change
the name of the subdirectory you are currently in.

Notes
-----
1. Unlike RENAME, RENDIR does not support use of the ?
   and * wildcard characters.

2. Requires DOS 3.0 or higher.
