- This is a simple little program I wrote so that I didn't have to load windows
- every time I boot. Usually, I go straight to Windows, but when you are trying
- some new AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS tricks, booting into Windows only to exit
- again is stupid and a waste of time (especially on my 8 MHz 80286). Therefore,
- I wrote WINWAIT.PAS. . .
-
- I know its no gigantic work of artful code, but it gets the job done. To
- implement it, use it in a batch file. It returns a DOS errorlevel 0 if you
- select Windows, errorlevel 1 if you select DOS. You might alter your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows:
-
- winwait
- if errorlevel 1 goto :end
- win
- :end
- rem Add any final things here that you'd like to do before DOS, or just
- rem call it quits at ":end" (you may omit the "rem" lines!)
-
- I know there are similar--maybe even more sophisticated--programs out there,
- but I am too lazy to go searching over countless networks looking for them.
-
- So here you go. {Legal stuff:} I will assume no responsibility for your use
- or misuse of this program, nor will I retype your 100 page thesis, or re-key
- your 32000 entry database; face it--this program isn't that sophisticated (if
- you don't believe me, read the source code). I hereby release this software
- into the public domain.
