SYNOPSIS
d:\<path>\WINDERS [num] [/A <args>] [/B] [/D <d:>] [/I] [/P] [/N <filename>] [/W]
d:\<path>\WINDERS /H
d:\<path>\WINDERS /V
d:\<path>\WINDERS /?
DESCRIPTION
WINDERS allows the user to choose to automatically run
Windows or exit to DOS upon startup or reboot.
It allows the user to specify a length of time to
countdown before Windows 3.X is loaded.
Windows may be loaded before the countdown
is complete by pressing one of the modifier keys
([SHIFT], [ALT], or [CTRL]), the user may also
exit to DOS pressing any other key.
SYNTAX
d:\<path>\ is drive and directory path where WINDERS executable is
located.
num is length of pause before loading windows. It must be
first argument and may be range of 1 to 32767 in seconds.
The default pause is 5 seconds. 0 seconds defaults to 5.
/A <args> are the arguments to be passed to windows. The arguments are
not optional and will generate an error if not found after
the /a. There also must be a space between the /a and the
<args> and multiple arguments must be placed inside
quotes. If you have problems getting this to work
try using full path names on the executables.
/B beep on countdown, default no beep.
/D <d:> is to specify drive in where WINDOWS is located.
The default is C:.
/P <path> If executable file to start WINDOWS is not in \WINDOWS\ use
this option to specify the path.
Examples:
\DIR1\DIR2\...\DIRn\WINDOWS\
\WIN\ If WINDOWS is in a directory called WIN.
NOTE: The final back-slash on the path is required.
/N <filename> Used to specify the name of the file to be executed
if it is not WIN.COM.
Example:
Use /N WINDERS.BAT if you want to execute a batch file
before entering windows.
This would be an easy way to disable a DOS screen saver
before starting Windows.
(See WINDERS.BAT)
Note: If you change the name a new shell will
and the batch file will run from that shell which is
not as efficient memory efficient as running
WIN.COM directly.
/I suppress loading Windows into screen. Default show intro screen.
/H or /? help screen.
/V prints out version information.
/W supress display of WINDERS countdown banner.
INSTALLATION
Installation is simple; copy winders.exe into a directory
on your PATH. Then put a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT like:
WINDERS 10 /B /I
