It's great if you run a command and want to make a quick BAT file out of it. I don't need Edit for that, I can just as easily tap out a few lines in Edlin and save it. One thing that would make that easier is a command line option to suppress Edlin output. Something like /QUIET or /Q to not display the "welcome" message (copyright & license). Because if I run a command and want to make a BAT file out of it, the extra text might push some interesting stuff off the top of the screen. Also, it would be nice if Edlin supported the /? option on DOS to display the usage. Right now, it assumes any command line parameter is a file: > C:\> edlin /? > edlin 2.23, copyright (c) 2003 Gregory Pietsch > This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. > It is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it > under the terms of the GNU General Public License -- either > version 2 of the license, or, at your option, any later > version. > > /?: New file. > * Here's an idea: if Edlin supported /? for usage, Edlin might only display the "welcome" screen there and *not* display it during normal program startup. That would remove my need for a /QUIET command line option. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
