- BATCH FILE "PLAY.BET":
- A batch file, play.bet, is also enclosed with Blackjack Simulation.
- If for some reason you do not want to create a DOS box under Windows,
- you can use this batch file to run the program from the Windows File
- Manager. The enclosed batch file assumes that Blackjack Simulation is
- in the directory c:\bjs. If not, you can use the DOS Editor (or almost
- any editor) to change the drive or directory.
- To run Blackjack Simulation in this mode:
- Bring up the File Manager
- Go to the drive/directory that Blackjack Simulation is located in.
- Double click on the batch file "play.bat".
- The program will load in and you will essentially be running from a
- DOS prompt.
- If you try to double click on the file bjs.exe, the program will not
- be able to find the files required to load in the program. The batch
- file just changes the default directory to c:\bjs which then allows
- the program to find the necessary files to start Blackjack Simulation.
-
