FLY - Create batch files on the fly - (c) Copyright 1992 Lavi Tidhar
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have several things to do which require a batch proccess, and you
need to run it only once, you can skip the long proccess of creating, running
and deleting the poor batch file. FLY can do it for you. Save time
and keystokes with FLY.
To start the program, simply type FLY at the DOS prompt. Then you will start
to enter your batch program.
When you are done, hit the Enter key alone and the program will be executed.
FLY creates a batch file called $TMP.BAT. This file will be erased when FLY
is done.
FLY now supports 4DOS/NDOS .BTM files. Those files are loaded to memory
so they are much faster than .BAT files. If you have 4DOS/NDOS installed,
simply type FLY /4. If you don't want .BTM , just type FLY. Ofcourse, the
file created will now be called $TMP.BTM .
This is an example of the use of FLY:
------------------------------------------
C:\>fly
FLY version 1.4 (C) Copyright 1992 Lavi Tidhar
Start your immediate batch file now:
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
* Type FLY /? at the DOS prompt to see the help screen
* Type "ABORT" To abort the program
* Press [ENTER] alone to end the program
1: @Echo off <== Line number appears
2: NCC /START
3: Dir
4: NCC /STOP
5: <== Carriage Return here, to end program
That's all.
Although you may not find much use of this program at first look, it
can be quite usefull. The example of using NCC to measure time, will take
you much longer without fly. I tried it...
Notes/error messages: You can stop the proccess of fly any time by typing
ABORT (Case doesn't matter) followed by ENTER.
Please don't run FLY within FLY. No runtime errors will occure, but
you will lose your program. Try it if you want... FLY is <Hopefully> bug
free. It has error checking for free space etc, but I can't promise anything.
USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Distribution policy: You are allowed to use and distirbute UNMODIFIED
copies of FLY on the condition that it is kept together with this document
which also must be kept UNMODIFIED.
This program is FREEWARE however if you use this program PLEASE contact me
and tell me. I do not ask for any money but would like to know where are my
programs getting to.
If you do that you will receive free updates of FLY and of other programs
by me, plus, my gratitude.
