Re: R: nondosfilewarning help


Unfortunately, the script that was written to run rsync is in perl and has
variables for the directory.  It's complicated and I wouldn't know how to
change it, which is why I rather just leave it as is and have the
"nodosfilewarning' instead.

I'm wondering if capitals matter because I wrote set instead of SET
