I need some help to create a little DOS batch file to select QL
emulators.
My flash memory drive has QPC, QemuLator and QLay on it, so I need to
write a short batch file to select which one to start. Something in
dos along the lines of:
CLS
PRINT'1-QPC2'
PRINT'2-QemuLator'
PRINT'3-QLay'
INPUT'
After all the help I got off and on list I finally came up with this
batch file, which seems to offer what I need. Corrections/suggestions
welcome, especially comments on anything you think might not work in
other windoze versions. I think this is the first batch file of any
real length I've ev

You could supply choice.exe alongside your batch - it works with the
later OS's, but it's an extra 48k for one function.
SET /P variable=[promptString]
appears to be the official XP method but I'm confident you'll find it

Relative paths should do what you want
