A batch file is a way to group together a bunch of executable files, or
programs. If you want to make one, I'd suggest creating a text file in the
same directory that analog and qdns are going to be run from. Name it like
so:
file.bat
The '.bat' extension makes it a batch file. In that file you can place the
commands to run qdns and analog (i liked aengus' way of doing it better than
my suggestion actually, but i only have my suggestions in front of me)
@qdns /G analog.cfg
@analog
That's it. Save the new file.
Then go to the ms-dos prompt, change directory's to the directory that you
created the batch file in, i created mine in the /analog 4.1 directory on my
machine, and run the file like so:
@file.bat
It will start executing all the commands in that batch file. So if you
don't have too complicated of a set up, i.e., one log file, then this
hopefully will help you out some. Tons of virtual hosts and stuff, i leave
to aengus and others to comment on. If you have trouble moving around in
dos, some basic commands are 'cd' to change the directory, and 'dir' to
figure out which directory you're in and whats in the directory. There are
variations, but those two will help mostly.
type dir/w or something to see all files spread across the width of the
screen.
type 'cd analog 4.1' if you are at the c: prompt and the analog 4.1
directory is on the root level of your c: drive.
type 'help' if you need some. e.g. 'help cd' to figure out more about
commands. I think help will work in win 98. I've got win2k, and i can't
remember if 'help' worked in win98.
This works if you want to just run the batch file manually each day.

Nate/Angus-
Thanks for the instructions. Unfortunately, unlike others here, I'm just
not
experienced in DOS. Html- yep, Desktop applications- no problemo. DOS?
Forget
about it.
So, suggestions such as 'run a batch file' mean nothing to me. That's one
of
the big problems I face in dealing with Analog. However, it is up and
running
and it took just 55 minutes to chase down all the DNS's.
As for QuickDNS- well, I reckon I'll need to acquire a basic primer on DOS
before I can make sense of steps 2) through 3) below, simple, though they
seem.
