BATCH FILES FROM ASTMENU
The ASTMENU program, found on the AST-NETWORK diskette Version
1.0, does not run batch files as it would a program. Earlier
versions of the User's Manual do not indicate how this should be
done. This action should be taken in order to execute a batch
file from ASTMENU:
1. In step 6 of the AST-NETWORK User's Manual, specify a
pathname as follows:
This is displayed by the system:
Full pathname of program to execute:
C:\COMMAND.COM <ENTER>
a. C:\ is the drive and directory where the batch file
resides.
b. COMMAND.COM is the DOS command interpreter that
must be present to execute a batch file.
2. In step 7, on page 3-15 of the manual, specify a command
line as follows:
This is displayed by the system:
COMMAND LINE:
/C C:\FILENAME.BAT <ENTER>
a. /C should precede all batch file command lines.
b. C:\ is the drive and directory where the batch
file can be found.
c. FILENAME.BAT is the name and extension of the
batch file to be executed.
