What OS?

The following table is based on my own Windows CDROM's, danish versions:

Label       Size                       Date       time
  DANWIN95    302.940.160 bytes (288MB)  24-08-95   9.50
  DANWIN95A   276.267.008 bytes (263MB)  29-02-96   4.17
  DANW95B_USB 595.132.416 bytes (567MB)  01-05-97  12.14
  WINDOWS 98  568.721.408 bytes (542MB)  15-05-98  20.01
  Win98 SE    585.662.464 bytes (558MB)  05-05-99  22.22
  WXHCCP_DA   499.253.248 bytes (476MB)  09-10-01  12.00 (XP).

If the above CDROM information isn't enough to determine what files that
you got, then you can either install your CD or read the next paragraph.

BTW., To determine the OS with use of program code:
Press [Ctrl+B] within iExplorer at page 10, then write OS= in the dialog
box. News page 10.

The only Help is in SLOW.PAS, top & tail : [1] Without reference to Win, SLOW hangs the system in a Win 3.1 DOS box. With reference, SLOW is OK (OK) and the stop/start still works (How??). PAS, EXE in <URL: http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/programs/> -see 00index.txt. -- John Stockton, Surrey, UK.

Hmmm, Even a little batch file under construction sometimes/often causes
a new discovery - I knew that a Slash (/) could be used instead of a dot
(see the below FOR loop and the /Hello). What I didn't knew was a little
surprise:

   @echo off
   for %%v in (.Hello!) do echo%%v
   for %%v in (/Hello!) do echo%%v

-- Benny,
PS. Here's the finished batch file
that I was working on:

   @echo off
   if not exist "NUL" for %%v in (echo.Old-DOS goto:OOPS) do %%v
   echo To:b.pedersen@get2net.dk; > %temp%.\~.emL
   for %%e in (/Subject:~More.~ .X-Unsent:1/) do echo%%e>>%temp%.\~.emL
   for %%e in (VER DIR:%windir%\command\more.com) do %%e>>%temp%.\~.emL
   for %%e in (start del) do %%e %temp%.\~.emL /p
   cls

Notes: If the first line of text in the message were written as:
ECHO Hi,>> FILE, then the last Slash in the first FOR loop would
be necessary. In the above case, the command VER would write the
blank line, which is required for an e-mail written as the above
example.

BTW.
'  ExpressMail.VBS
   msgBox"Installing a shortcut named ExpressMail:",, ";-)"
   dim wso, osl
   set wso= createObject("wScript.shell")
   set osl= wso.createShortcut(wso.specialFolders _
            ("Desktop") & "\ExpressMail.lnk")
   osl.targetPath= "mailto:"
   osl.save
   set wso= nothing: set osl= wso
