STARTVDM UTILITY
This program will start a VDM session from a VDM session and wait until
the started session has ended before proceding. What use is this?
Well, if you have a program to execute in a batch file that requires
special or different session settings from the current session you can
do this without having to create a program object with the desired settings
and fire it from the desktop. This is handy for executing any program
embedded in a batch file that need a little "extra juice" for its
duration and then resume "well behaved" execution. The DOS ini file
contains the environment settings for the started session and must be
fully qualified with drive and path.
STARTVDM <qualified DOS ini file name> <command> <optional parameters>
example:
startvdm c:\dosset\commbat.ini c:\commit\compgm.exe
example of dos ini file contents:
DOS_BACKGROUND_EXECUTION=1
DOS_HIGH=1
DOS_UMB=1
COM_DIRECT_ACCESS=0
IDLE_SECONDS=60
IDLE_SENSITIVITY=100
