You're right about the colon. The colon has to be there after the drive
letter.

They're very busy working on their new market: VisualBasic addons.
There hasn't been any noise from PB about DOS upgrades to PB 3.2. I also
suspect we can forget about an OS/2 version.  The PowerBASIC BBS is almost
dead. The usenet alt.lang.powerbasic conference is slowly and painfully
losing message traffic. Dave Navarro, Joe Byrd and Bob Zale never check
in over here for Fido anymore.  The only real support for PB anymore is
PCVENB Section 12 on Compuserve and from reading the message traffic over
there it doesn't look all that rosy for PB DOS programmers :(
