I tried out to use JOnAS NT Batches (bin\nt) on Windows 98 and they did not work. I opened the batches in the editor and found some problems that I think are not 98 specific, but can cause problems on the intended OS (NT), either. 1) There are used forward slashes instead if backslashes. This maybe run on NT, but on Windows it's quite common to use backslashes. In order to make the Batches run on ANY windows OS, the forward slashes should be exchanged by backslashes. I tries this on Windows 98 and it works well. 2) There is the symbol %*% used to indicate command shell to add any specified command line arguments to a called program. Maybe this works on NT (I'm not quite sure, I never saw this before on a windows OS), it does surely not run on non-NT-windows-OS such as Windows 98. In order to make the batches run with ANY windows OS, the line %*% should be replaced by the sequence %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9, which is a common style in Windows batches. As I know (maybe I am wrong), (a) variables may not close with a percent sign (but they have to open with one) so %*% is wrong in any case; (b) there is not special sign to indicate to use all parameters as given (such as *) on all windows OS, so it is better to use the numbered sequence. I hope that you will include this in the common binary zip, so that other users do not have to patch all the batches (as I had to do) in future.
