Mac,
It is nice to know a few people on this board still remember DOS. Does that mean we're old or that we have superior memories.
Your Paleolithic Friend,

LOL moke, I'm sure it's not both. The two don't seem to
go hand in hand...
OK, for some reason, the code isn't always copying correctly
from the post.
Here's some areas to check:
Lines 5, 25, 27 29 - should be no spaces after the equal signs.
Lines 31 thru 39 - should have one blank space after the equal signs.
Lines 310 thru 322 - should be no spaces after the equal signs.
ALL other values assigned, such as set t1=x etc. should
NOT have spaces after the value.

Mac:
To answer your earlier question: no, I don't have CHOICE, but that was already answered by Dr. Dread (no CHOICE in NT, 2K, XP). I am modifying the code to use the ASKENV provided by Tommy, not done yet, too many thngs like that annoying thing called real life interfering.

Sorry, moke - too late ! I just patented that invention last week - the Wheel®. You'll have to think of something else

Man, I'm such a DOS dinosaur that I'm practically fossilized In my feebled mind I just
remembered an ASK command that I've been using in lots of DOS batch scripts and then I
assumed that it was a DOS native. But now I've checked and it's actually a 1987 Norton utility
that performs almost as CHOICE - "ASK [prompt], keylist".

I remember that! It came in a group of a whole buncha batch file add-ons. Oh yea.. brings back the warm fuzzys.. [suddenly SC gets smashed in the head with a registry key and does the looney toons head shake]
Ohh well.. back to Gates World

Ok Dread ,
But I have another new invetion I don't think the world can live without. Try rubbing two sticks together very fast until it starts to smoke, then add some dry tinder and blow... (the tinder). Pretty impressive huh? I like to call this little miracle FIRE®

Not sure if CHOICE.COM is freeware though.

The code doesn't copy/paste correctly here, so you can
download two versions of the game if ya want.
- This one uses the ESCAPE key symbol to exit (view it
with DOS EDIT.COM):
http://www.trinex.net./users/mac/dos/tictac.bat
- This one uses the Q key to exit (it can be viewed with
notepad):
http://www.trinex.net./users/mac/dos/tictac2.bat
You can run them from a DOS box, link to them, or open
them in Windows Explorer.
Cheers, Mac
