[GRASS-user] 'ARNing: Cannot open driver 'dbf"

[Raymond Fu]

hi,
   
  Sorry, I work in a user level, and know not much about C.  Can you suggest me what the "special treatment"  and how to make the "special treatment" by command line or other ways so that the g.copy can be run without error?
   
  Thanks in advance.

Hamish,

in manage/lib/do_copy.c, 'mkdir' is used which IMHO needs a special
treatment
on Windows. See for example lib/gis/mapset_msc.c
