[Freedos-user] some questions
1) What is the best/most stable/most compatible multitasking software working with FreeDOS? 2) When I call from within autoexec.bat to test.bat file then after test.bat is done it won`t jump back to autoexec.bat, also if exit is the last command. 3) How to change the screen resolution? 4) I have lots of applications in different folders, like programs/prog1 and so on that I want to use from C:\. Normally you would add them to the path variable? In my case it are to many folders and the path variable is full at some point. I also do not want to push all programs in one folder. Now I have one folder with all my 'shortcuts'. The shortcut is just a batchfile which will call the long name. But how can I pass the command line parameters correctly? -mr - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Freedos-user] some questions
Hallo, 2) When I call from within autoexec.bat to test.bat file then after test.bat is done it won`t jump back to autoexec.bat, also if exit is the last command. Use the command CALL. f.e. call test.bat Now I have one folder with all my 'shortcuts'. The shortcut is just a batchfile which will call the long name. But how can I pass the command line parameters correctly? if you want to call test.bat param1 param2 which executes a program, use %1, %2, %3... for first, second... parameter. In test.bat for example: test.exe %1 %2 Maybe you should use 4DOS...it supports many many command (has a good script/batch language) and has a very good help.

RR RR If so, how do you mount the disk image? RR RR There's a third party software called E0X available from RR http://kannegieser.net/veit/programm/index_e.htm, which allows to RR substitute your floppy drive with an image file before starting a RR desired program, e.g., command.com. I never tried it on FreeDOS, but it RR worked fine on MS-DOS for me. Thanks for the tip. The program seems to be in an .arj format. What is .arj and how does one unpack it?

Hi, ARJ is a file compression program (it used to be the most well-known archiver in ol' good days...). To unpack it, just go get the unarj program from http://www.arjsoftware.com. bye!

Just type at command line help call ;-) 3) How to change the screen resolution? I believe that by screen resolution you mean text mode? If so, you should look after the mode command. For example, mode co80,50 will give you a color console with 80 columns and 50 rows. Now I have one folder with all my 'shortcuts'. The shortcut is just a batchfile which will call the long name. But how can I pass the command line parameters correctly? Say, you want to launch c:\myprog\go.exe... all you have to do is create a batch file containig the following line: @c:\myprog\go.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 You could also use the ALIAS command, you wouldn't need separate files for all your programs anymore. bye, Mateusz Viste -- You'll find my public OpenPGP key at http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/pub_key signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
