- 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.
