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. 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.
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.
Very truly yours,
George Abbott
