Re: Backup script
Hello Greg, Now the only problem I see to make this one heck of a backup is to be able to run this batch file automatically after you exit TB. I haven't read this whole thread in detail so I may be missing something. On threads about backing up TB in the past I have many times suggested taking a look at Second Copy 2000 (http://www.centered.com/) which I use since years ago not just to backup TB but all my important data. I'll just say this now. Aside of built in scheduling, you can set different type of backup for different data (Exact Copy, Incremental, compressed, etc.) and also set a number of conditions: run a program before/after backup, wait for a program to exit, etc., etc. What I am saying is that it is very easy to set up a Profile to backup TB data selecting which folders to backup and how, and selecting to run a program and waiting for it to exit before doing the backup up. See where I'm getting at? Yes, it can launch and run TB and wait for it to exit and then it will do the backup. Cheers :) -- Best regards, Miguel A.

She does want to use it for her work, but she is a University Professor, which is not exactly commercial, but not private either, she is not a student, and the Educational Institutional license has a minimum of twenty seats order.

It doesn't take a long time to copy that batch file to a text file, alter the paths and use it. It does take time also to learn how to use Second Copy. It may take Marck a shorter time to write a simple batch file than to download and learn how to use Second Copy. Like any other thing, it's a matter of learning once and going on after. Using either of the options, i.e., a batch script or Second Copy comprise different means to the same ends. In fact, technically, they're the same means, since Second Copy is merely making one point and click into effect, what Marck and the others are doing the 'manual' way.

Re: Mail download + new line problems
Thanks to everybody who answered my mail yesterday and welcomed me to the list. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have any solution to my major problem: that The Bat is busy working with something for ca 15 minutes every morning before it downloads my mails. As I said, I've unchecked the virus and spam check functions and none of my other e-mail clients have ever behaved this strange way, so I'm completely at a loss. Of course I have a firewall and a virus program but why would they only interfere with the Bat and not with the other mail programs? I forgot to mention that the Bat is only checking one single e-mail account, not many at the same time. It's impossible to start a new line by pressing Enter. Yes, that's the way I do it. ;-) Options - Preferences - Editor prefrences - uncheck 'Autoformat' I used to have Autoformat unchecked at the beginning, but when I had written an e-mail and afterwards added something in it, the line kept going on to the right for the whole paragraph, till I pressed Enter. This made me desperate, and I was so happy when I found the Autoformat function which stopped this. Does this mean I have to choose between either no word-wrapping or being able to press Enter for a new line (or toggle between them) - isn't it possible to have both at the same time? I find the Bat great in many ways, but 15 minutes expensive online time to download a few mails is in the long run intolerable, I'm afraid. :-( -- Best regards, Britt Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Yes, that's the way I do it. ;-) Options - Preferences - Editor prefrences - uncheck 'Autoformat' I used to have Autoformat unchecked at the beginning, but when I had written an e-mail and afterwards added something in it, the line kept going on to the right for the whole paragraph, till I pressed Enter. This made me desperate, and I was so happy when I found the Autoformat function which stopped this. Does this mean I have to choose between either no word-wrapping or being able to press Enter for a new line (or toggle between them) - isn't it possible to have both at the same time? Autowrap and Autoformat are not the same thing. You can keep Autowrap on and have Autoformat turned off, then use the format block option (Alt+L for format left) to reformat the paragraph if you need to. -- Robin Anson Using The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Opening url with non-default browser
AJ I am pretty sure when I changed my default browser (from IE to Firefox) AJ my wife complained the following day that I had changed something AJ again. Indeed she was getting Firefox launched. That was the point of my original message. I don't want to change the default browser or e-mail client on my system. I don't want to create a different account or identity or whatever in XP. It would be nice if The Bat let you select a browser. -- Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Backup script
Hello Leif, Monday, May 17, 2004, 12:33:58 AM, Leif Gregory wrote: LG How is it out there in left field? grin I was past the bleachers! :-) LG Here's an old easy way. Make your shortcut point to a batch file that LG runs TB. i.e. LG tb.bat LG * LG C:\program files\the bat!\thebat.exe LG Call backup.bat LG * LG The batch file will not process the second line until you shutdown TB. LG backup.bat will be the batch file you all have been writing to backup LG TB. Since I have my backup batch file in the program directory of TB I have to have c:\program files\The Bat!\ in the start in field of the short cut for it to work.
