- I am writing two small rexx batches. My objective is to backup a few system
- files, then install a new program/application, then run a second rexx
- program to compare the files and tell what changes have made the newly
- installed program.
-
- I saw such batch for DOS, they used the Dos FC.EXE program, to generate the
- comparison report. The version of FC.EXE I have does not run in a Dos session
- if I don't set the DOS VERSION to FC.EXE,5,00,255 (for example).
-
- The problem is that I was not able to control the DOS VERSION settings of the
- new DOS session wich is opened when I "call" my Dos batch (wich contains the
- FC.EXE calls).
-
- I am looking for either a solution to set the DOS VERSION from a batch, or for
- an OS/2 version of the FC.EXE program.
-
- Any help would be very appreciated...
