MAKBATCH INSTRUCTIONS
(Makbatch is Copyrighted 1985 by Castle Oaks Computer Service)
This is an easier way to make a command file then submit, xsub, or
supersub. You simply type in the name you give your command file and hit
RETURN. Then type in whatever number of commands that you want to auto-
matically boot up. I am sure that this program can be used in a number of
ways and for a number of uses. An example is included below.
( = this means that the program prints this on your screen.
A0>MAKBATCH --> TO CALL UP THIS PROGRAM, YOU TYPE THIS IN.
Makbatch responds with all ( items below:

(
(Enter the name (and drive letter) of the file to be created
(
((Do not enter extension, COM is assumed)
MJS --> YOU WRITE IN NAME OF COMMAND FILE WITHOUT ".COM"
***** Note added by Paul Foote - 10/10/85: Use at least two
character file names -- single char. names make the
program create a <BLANK>.COM file which does not run
(at least on my Xerox 820-II system).
(Enter the desired command lines below
((Enter ! alone to terminate input)
COLDBOOT<CR> --> YOU WRITE IN THE NAME OF THE COMMAND THAT YOU WANT
NOBEEP<CR> ON A SEPARATE LINE AS YOU SEE HERE
SMARTKEY<CR> & THEN HIT RETURN.
WS<CR>
!<CR> --> THIS IS THE COMMAND CODE FOR QUITTING.
( Requested file has been written to disk
When you use D.COM or NSWP to look at what you have done, you will
find MJS.COM. Test it out. Run MJS (or whatever name you gave the file.
The above command file made by MAKBATCH coldboots the computer in case
you have a different file of SMARTKEY booted. It then boots NOBEEP so that
WS is quieter. Then it loads SMARTKEY and finally WS (Wordstar). So four
programs have been loaded by MJS.COM. You could even call this M.COM and
do all this with one key stroke. That saves about 27 key strokes. It is
fun to watch the computer do all the work.
