Q.BAT Instructions
Located within one of the self-extracting archives on the new enclosed
"ProDev*QUOTE Utility Programs" disk is the Q.BAT BATch file. If you are
using 3.5 inch disks, this file is on the ProDev*QUOTE Program disk. This
Q.BAT file will be placed in the \PDS sub-directory by the UINSTALL
program. This file will allow you to run any of the ProDev*QUOTE programs
from WITHIN another of the ProDev*QUOTE programs. If you have not done so
already, place the ProDev*QUOTE Utility disk in drive A: and type . . .
A: (Enter)
UINSTALL (Enter)
The following instruction for the Q.BAT file will work ONLY ON A HARD DISK
and will NOT work if you are using a DOS Shell menu system that only
allows you to run .COM and .EXE type programs. If your menu system is
limited to only .COM and .EXE files, I suggest that you call
1-800-662-4330 and order Magee Enterprises AUTOMENU.
To run the QUOTE.EXE, QTRACK.EXE, QBROWSE.EXE and EPRICE.EXE (if you
ordered it) programs, perform the following . . .
CD\PDS
Q 1 (Enter) to run the QUOTE program
or
Q 2 (Enter) to run the QTRACK program
or
Q 3 (Enter) to run the QBROWSE program
or
Q 4 (Enter to run the EPRICE program
BE SURE TO TYPE A SPACE AFTER THE "Q" AND BEFORE 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Any of the above commands will run the Q.BAT file. The desired program
will be run from the batch file. From within the program, the "Quit" Menu
now has selections to run either of the other two programs. The program
will stuff either 1, 2, 3 or 4 into the DOS Errorlevel when the program is
Quit with the new menu selections. Since DOS ran the program from within
the Q.BAT file, DOS goes back to the next statement in the Q.BAT file to
execute the next command in the Q.BAT file. The IF ERRRORLEVEL statement
in the Q.BAT file will branch to run another of the Quote programs.
If you select the Quit option, you will be returned to the DOS prompt. If
you wish to look at the Q.BAT file, just type . . .
TYPE Q.BAT (Enter)
If you are running your hard disk with a menu, edit the end of the Q.BAT
file and add CD\ and the command to run your menu program. You can use
EDLIN or any ASCII editor to edit the Q.BAT file.
If you have established Multi-State Tax and Labor Rate files per Appendix
C of the QUOTE.DOC manual, type Q 1 ST (Enter) and substitute the 2
character State Code for ST.
Thank You,
