[Coco] FPGA 6809

[Bill Nobel]

Dash is usually used used for options on command lines.  Dump’s parsing routing unfortunately isn’t handled correctly.  Nitros9 does allow it in pathnames, but some of the older OS-9 commands don't

>>> Ok, here's a quick question for anyone who cares.  I am using NitrOS9 Level2 6809 on a CoCo3 FPGA.  I am trying to compare two files.  One is a module that I've just assembled and I'm comparing it against the same module that is on my working boot disk.
>>> So, the assembler creates a file called 'REL' and I have SAVEd the REL module from memory (save REL-m REL).  Notice that I named the file 'Rel-m' to differentiate it from the file I just assembled.  Now this is the interesting part:  When I try to "dump REL-m" I get an Error #235 (Bad name) and if I give it a full path name "dump /sd1/cmds/Rel-m" I get an Error #221 (Module not found).  If I simply rename the file to "Relm" then I have no problem.  Is the hyphen character somehow disallowed or is it a special character?  I can rename and manipulate files with hyphens in the name but it appears that 'dump' doesn't like it.
