According to address@hidden on 5/20/2008 10:18 PM:
| U:\>rm --version
| rm (coreutils) 5.2.1

Thanks.  This version is several years old, and typically means you
downloaded rm as part of a poorly-maintained port.  I would suggest that
if you want to use GNU tools on Windows, that you use a different port;
I'm particularly fond of cygwin (see cygwin.com).

| I have resove my question by copy command instead of rm command.
| If not exist z:\_%1.dll copy z:\%1 z:\_%1.dll
| Instead of :
| If exist z:\%1.dll rm z:\%1.dll z:\_%1.dll

copy is a windows cmd builtin, which is why it has no problem
understanding the \ syntax.  It may also be that you merely wanted to use
rm -f instead of plain rm, to ignore warnings about attempts to delete
files that are not present.
