Hi Trouble,
I hate to disagree with you but I still use dos and run dos applications all
the time. Even write and run dos batch files such as
@echo off
cd\program files\microsoft visual studio\vb98
or
@echo off
copy baseball.vbp c:\jim\basicbak\*.* /v
copy baseball.vbw c:\jim\basicbak\*.* /v
copy baseball.frm c:\jim\basicbak\*.* /v
beeper.exe
You know so I on the desk top type c and enter so now I am at the command
prompt and type gobas and then copyball and I have totally made back up copies
of my baseball VB6 source code.
Another little batch file that I like is
@echo off
dir /-n /od
beeper.exe
It just shows me the last file that I worked on in any given folder. So that
after I respond to your message my Email archive folder at the bottom looks like
TROUBLE1 TXT 48,061 09/23/2007 02:57 AM
3510 File(s) 155,766,596 bytes
2 Dir(s) 20,717,748,224 bytes free
But anyway I have written lots of batch files like that for use on my Windows
XP computers and as I said still run dos applications as well.

you bring up a good point Tom. With vista the standards have changed
on how things are done. Not just the few games you found have the
save problem, but many out there will have that problem.
On another list a problem was with a console program in c++ on vista.
it was solved with installing the libs for direct x8.
Just like cars advancement now. You wouldn't expect a mechanic of the
50's to work on your car of today with all the computer stuff on it
now. its impossible. programing is the same. if you want your stuff
to work you have to keep at least within the current releases of ops.
Some may not like vista, but its here and they either learn how to
work with it or get left with the old dos stuff that won't even run
on boxes of now.
No use in arguing the point vista is here and its up to those that
have programs that want to work under vista or not, because
eventually just because of the problems they will get left behind
just like dos!

If you redo a batch file, does it become a son of a batch
