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... Smile

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.

Cheers, Mac Smile

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. Smile

Hi again, Mac!

Man, I'm such a DOS dinosaur that I'm practically fossilized Cool 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 Wink

Not sure if CHOICE.COM is freeware though.

Hey Tommy, Smile

It's included with the DOS supplemental diskette
that's a free download from Microsoft:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q117600

It's just a rather large download for a single small file...

Cheers, Mac Smile

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 Smile
