- JH>I beleive it was in this newsgroup that had a discussion about trying
- JH>to use a Colorado 250 with DV. I am running PCBoard under Desqview,
- JH>and want to make an event to run CPbackup to do a full backup in the
- JH>morning. This is of course no problem NOT running under DOS.
-
- JH>Is there an easy way to do this I am missing? An easy way to exit
- JH>DV (I am using 2.42, and QEMM 6.02 BTW), run the backup event, and
- JH>re-enter DV. I already know how to set up script files to automatically
- JH>make DV open the PCB wiindow.
-
- The following DEBUG script will create a program that quits DESQview as
- long as there are no applications open that have "Allow Close Window
- Command" set to N on the second page of the Change a Program Menu.
-
- Mark and Transfer the following lines of text into a plain ASCII file.
- Call that file QUITDV.DBG.
-
- n quitdv.com
- a 100
- MOV AX,101B
- INT 15
- MOV BX,1559
- MOV AX,1110
- INT 15
- MOV BX,1051
- MOV AX,1110
- INT 15
- MOV BX,FC00
- MOV AX,1110
- INT 15
- MOV AX,101C
- INT 15
- MOV AX,4C00
- INT 21
-
- rcx
- 27
- w
- q
-
- Make sure that you don't leave out the blank line before rcx. Save the
- file QUITDV.DBG, and make sure DOS's DEBUG is on your path. Force-feed
- your .DBG file to DEBUG like this:
-
- DEBUG < QUITDV.DBG
-
- This will create a file in the current directory called QUITDV.COM.
- Again, it will not work if an open window has "Allow Close Window
- Command" set to no in the DVP. Otherwise, SAVE YOUR WORK, type QUITDV
- from a DOS prompt (or run it from a batch file) and watch the fun.
