I wrote a batch file to call several programs (this is with MS-DOS, as
that is what is on the computer I'm using it on - I don't have DR-DOS on
it yet). For some reason the batch-file ceases to execute after the first
program has run, which kinda defeats the purpose of it. :-)
There is a xcopy before the first program call, which works, so the
file works as far down as calling the first program, but then doesn't have
control returned to it when the program is finished - anyone know why this
is?
The program is one I wrote myself in Pascal which deletes columns from
a file (having learnt about computers on a mainframe, I was pretty
frustrated to discover PC editors didn't have column operations - I've
written a few editor extensions :-) ).
