Hi Louis,
Thanks for your work! ItrCOs a nice idea to use a batch file for it. I just
tried it. It works but has some flaws yet. HererCOs the feedback:
1. If I run the program in AUTOEXEC.BAT I get several error messages. See:
https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/m2wat.bat.png
<https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/m2wat.bat.png>
2. There should be some confirmation like "WATTCP.CFG has been updated".
3. The WATTCP.CFG is written with the values from MTCP.CFG. BUT: WATTCP.CFG is
overwritten.
Only the values from MTCP.CFG are kept.
This can be a problem: WATTCP.CFG can be carefully crafted. Sometimes even
passwords are stored there. It shouldnrCOt be overwritten.
See https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/wattcp.cfg
<https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/wattcp.cfg> for an example
WATTCP.CFG with lots of settings.

Yes I think these errors have been committed by me. I look into it (and might
need some help with it).
M2WAT.COM <http://m2wat.com/> worked with the example WATTCP.CFG and just
updated the lines that needed it.
Thanks for your help!
cheers
Ulrich
