Pro-Bat I - The Professional Integrated Batch File Development Environment.
version 1.0
>ReadMe.now, amended : February 28, 1989.
1. The file "PROBAT.MAN" is a manual on Pro-Bats usage. It can be printed
throught the use of the file "PRINTMAN.EXE".
Simply type PrintMan at the dos prompt, making sure your printer is on
and that it is supplied with adequate paper. ( About 35 sheets. )
2. There are numerous files on this disk that are not described in the manual.
These files are: "PBMENU.DTA", "EXAMPLE.SCR", & "CUSTMENU.BAT". These files
are for the example menu system I have set up to help you understand that
feature of Pro-Bat.
3. There are also two other files that aren't described in the manual. These
are utility programs that should allow you to make your batch files more
impressive. They are: "CURSOR.EXE", & "WAIT.EXE". Both perform simple
tasks. Wait will halt computer for a specified number of milliseconds,
you pass a parameter for how long (passing 0 will make the computer wait
for a key press). Cursor will change the scan lines of the cursor. You pass
two parameters, the topline and the bottomline.
Refer to the batch file "CUSTMENU.BAT" for examples of their usage.
