- BATSH220.ZIP is a replacement for previous BATSHxxx.ZIP
- It includes program and sample-files.
-
- BATSH.EXE (v2.20)
- -----------------
- To run Windows commands from a file.
- Line by Line.
- Like BATCH (.BAT) files in DOS,
- but with some windows specific commands,
- and not all the DOS features.
- For WINDOWS 3.1 & WINDOWS 95 (FreeWare)
-
- Installation
- ------------
- Place the files BATSH.EXE and BATSH.HLP together anywhere on the disk.
- Write with NOTEPAD a text file with one command per line.
- Save the text file with the extension .BSH
-
- Windows 3.1:
- Associate with File-Manager the program BATSH.EXE. [File - Associate...].
- Include the program path in the association.
- To install your command-file in Program-Manager, you can drag the file
- with the mouse from File-Manager to a Program-Manager group.For this
- procedure, both File- and Program-Manager must be visible on the screen.
- You can change the icon shown in Program-Manager with the menu
- [File - Properties...]
-
- Windows95:
- Click with the right mouse button on the new file and choose [Open With]
- from the menu. Select BATSH as program to use. If the BATSH program is
- not shown in the selection, you must search it with the [Other..] option.
- Activate the box [Always use this program...]
-
- Run your new command-file with a double click on the file-name.
-
-
- Release Notes
- -------------
- Version 2.20:
- The ICON command can change WINDOWS95 taskbar icons.
- A network connection-name (NETADD command) may contain spaces.
- The hidden icon label in command-mode (/C) is uppercase.
- Support for Windows95 is added in the help-file.
-
- Version 2.14:
- Bug-fix:
- The program is now running stable under WINDOWS95.
- This is not a 95 update, since some commands (ICON,WAITDROP,PRINTER...)
- can not be used yet.
- New:
- INI Variables The filename-part can be written with an extension,
- so any text file with the structure of a windows initialisation file
- can now be used.
-
- Version 2.12:
- Bug-fix:
- Under some conditions, the PRINT command kept waiting
- much longer than it took to print the file.
-
- Version 2.11:
- Bug-fix:
- A disabled Help option ($HELP) got active after using the MENU command.
- The error-message for an invalid $HELP variable definition was incorrect.
- CLOSE (not QUIT) a BATSH instance with an open message-box, did produce
- a system error.
- Each SHOW command did rearrange the desktop icons.
- The $NET variable was not reset for all NETADD and NETPORT/REMOTE
- conditions.
- In some networks, the IF REMOTE command did not search all drives and
- ports, due to non standard return codes.
- New:
- $TIME/$DATE The system TIME & DATE is read or set using these variables.
- SHOW New parameters allow to move and size a window, or define
- the location of a BATSH message-box.
-
-
- Since BATSH 2.0, the ASK and CHOICE command are integrated into the
- MESSAGE command. BATSH files from previous versions are not compatible
- with version 2 files, when using one of the two commands.
