- wYou won't find anything which is smaller, faster, or more flexible than
- wLOAD. It is the perfect solution for a software distributor's
- winstallation needs. See for yourself! Before you cease your evaluation,
- wplease examine some of the interesting features of LOAD:
-
- w - A small EXE, less than 7.9k.
- w - A fast, powerful, easy to learn, compact, interpreted language.
- w - Independant execution of commands, unlike normal DOS batch language
- w which returns to the calling batch file each time a command is executed.
- w - All commands supported by DOS.
- w - Screen handling including optional, automatic, page breaks.
- w - Direct and user assigned, string variables.
- w - Nested macros.
- w - Full, conditional and unconditional branching.
- w - Two preset variables, STARTDRV and STARTDIR, which indicate what
- w drive and directory LOAD was executed from.
- w - A trace command for debugging purposes.
- w - A preset source file name, LOAD.SRC, which LOAD automatically looks
- w for when executed. This file name can be over-ridden from the command
- w line.
- w - An optional share flag for LANs.

- wThis version of LOAD is distributed with the following files:
-
- w LOAD.DOC - The main documentation. Please read!
- w LOAD.INV - A printable invoice.
- w LOAD.EXE - The interpreter.
- w LOAD.SRC - An install program for LOAD. Actually written using LOAD's
- w enhanced batch language. This is a good example of what
- w LOAD can do for you.
-
- wEnjoy, and thanks for supporting the shareware concept.
