Hi all, As everyone knows and the docs clearly state, everything after a REM is ignored.
However, I recently noticed an issue with a batch file that had something like: REM this thing [[x|4]] or later in one of its remarks. Every time the batch was executed, it displayed a “4]]” command not found error. Out of curiosity, I checked under MS-DOS 6.22. It exhibited the same behavior. I have a vague recollection of noticing this decades ago as well. It is a bug. But, it’s a bug that MS-DOS has as well. What’s you opinion? Should FreeCOM replicate this “feature” or fix the bug? Personally, I think it should be fixed. No one should be using that. If they were, I feel they are technically just exploiting a bug and there is no obligation to continue supporting that “feature.” I don’t/won’t work on FreeCOM. I’m just curious about your thoughts on this. :-) Jerome _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
