BatchMaster.doc BatchMaster v.1.27 07/24/91
1) Installation
It is an easy task to install BatchMaster; you just copy BatchMaster
file to the directory you want to, for example, the "c/"directory.
There is nothing else to do, except to ensure you have arp.library
in your "libs/" directory, since BatchMaster will not work without
arp.library.
2) Usage (BatchMaster arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4)
To use BatchMaster, you must create command script file. If you are
completely green with script files, you can follow the instructions
step by step:
- Load your favorite text editor.
- Type in command script. For example,
BatchMaster kidding no_kidding bmdemo
echo "If this text gets out, there is an error!"
echo "Refer to file BatchMaster.doc."
lab kidding
echo "Just kidding!"
skip batchend
lab no_kidding
echo "No kidding!"
skip batchend
lab bmdemo
echo "This is a command script that demonstrates BatchMaster"
lab batchend
is a non-useful command script that uses BatchMaster. This command
script should be found at name "BatchMaster.demo".
- Type "execute <command_script_name>" to run the command script. If
you are working with Shell, you can run the program directly without
the command "execute", if the bits s and e of the command script
file are set. You can use the command "protect" to set these bits.
As demonstrated in BatchMaster.demo command script, BatchMaster uses
its arguments as names of labels where jump to. That´s why you have to
have a line "lab arg" if you have line "BatchMaster arg .." in your
command script file. Otherwise, if the user selects the option "arg",
and there isn´t line "lab arg", BatchMaster causes an error.
Currently, BatchMaster can only jump forward.
Examples:
example1
...
BatchMaster arg1 arg2 arg3
...
lab arg1
...
lab arg2
...
<eof>
If the user selects arg3, BatchMaster stops into an error. To correct
the bug we have to either remove arg3 from line "BatchMaster arg1
arg2 arg3", or we have to add line "lab arg3", according to situation.
example2
...
lab arg1
...
BatchMaster arg1 arg2
...
lab arg2
...
<eof>
BatchMaster can jump only forward, so to prevent error we have to
move line "lab arg1" after line "BatchMaster arg1 arg2".
BatchMaster does not recognise a gadget if it does not have an
argument. If no arguments are given, BatchMaster gives an option
to escape from BatchMaster by clicking the upper left gadget.
BatchMaster uses argument ? as special argument. The user can type
the argument name from his/her keyboard.
I´ll hope you enjoy this program!
