INSTALL.BTM
by Brent Graham
09-Sep-93
While installing a program recently, I told the install program
to update my PATH statement to include the installation directory.
However, I recieved an error telling me that my path was too long.
At first, I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to remove other
directories from my path, but what else was I to do?
Then I remembered reading an article which mentioned running all of
my programs from batch files. This was a near-perfect solution to
my problem. However, I didn't have the time to write close to 50
separate batch files so I created INSTALL.BTM to help speed up the
process.
While INSTALL.BTM may look complicated at a glance, anyone with
experience writing batch files should have little problem following
it. For those people just starting to write batch files, I have
included line-by-line documentation within the file.
It took me about 45 minutes to write and debug INSTALL.BTM and I
use for every program that I install on my sustem. I would greatly
appreciate any questions or feedback you might have. You can contact
me through CompuServe mail (72714,3413) or through the Channel 1
message base.
