Thanks Rob, I'll take a look at that link and see if it does the job for me.

Maybe. Warnings though: (1) Exemod is no longer supported; (2) It *will* fail when used with D2009 because it uses non-unicode strings; (3) there can be problems running apps from a CD - I had this problem when I wrote a small installer using Exemod (however this is described in the Exemod source - it's a known problem). Apart from that I have found it very useful indeed. Rob > > I've found an *.exe file that runs (D7 / Vista) in DOS mode like a batch > file command. When running, it gives a prompt and stops. > > 1.
