What is the DOS file I need to edit to fire up executables?

1 New Member
What is the DOS file I need to edit to fire up executables? I know this is a really basic question, but I cannot figure it out; I even googled it, but no dice. I use old Word Perfect 5.1 for Medical Transcription, and I need prd (which is a macro program) and other programs to fire up when I reboot. Right now I have to reboot and then go into DOS and manually enter the exe names which is lame. Thx!

I had a chuckle reading this question. But I think you are talking about autoexec.bat

I have read threads here and there and I have looked at MS but I can not get a clear understanding of what .Net acutally is. I understand that C++ and Vb and other languages are being out a .Net. I get some idea that it still is OOP. I think it has different ways of managing the code. But what is it? Thanks -- SailFL

First of all, I'm an Asian and I need to input Japanese, Korean and so on. I've tried many PHP IDEs today, but almost non of them supported Unicode (UTF-8) file. I've found that the only Unicode support IDEs are DreamWeaver 8 and Zend PHP Studio. DreamWeaver provides full support for Unicode. However, DreamWeaver is a web editor rather than a PHP IDE. It only supports basic IntelliSense (or code completion) and doesn't have anything...

Which of the UDB 8.2.2 ESE unix executables really need to gain root privilege while they are running? In my installation, the db2sysc file is owned by the instance-owner (and relevant admin group ownership), but when the db2-instance starts running (manually started via "su" as the instance-owner), the db2sysc process requests root access. I think that db2fmcd also requests root privilege.

HI--what I am trying to do is 2 things: 1. Open a form in either data entry mode or edit mode depending on what task the user is performing 2. Cancel events tied to fields on the form if I am in edit mode. The reason I want to do this is becasue when entering a new record the form is entered in data entry mode and I have lots of stuff happening upon entering and leaving fields. In edit mode I do not want the events to fire.

I have a simple DataGrid that displays a list of characteristics and allows you to edit a description for each characteristic. The query that feeds this involves a join, as the characteristics and their descriptions are in separate tables. The DataKeyField of the DataGrid is set to the description ID, but I also need to be able to access the characteristic ID in my update query (without displaying it in the DataGrid). I haven't had much...

I've tried googling for the answer to my question, so my apologies if it's been asked before or is terribly obvious. I'm a volunteer doing data entry for research. My office has an Access database with several hundred fields that was put together by someone who no longer works here. While using this database, I've noticed that it's missing a number of fields that we need. I told the Dr. I'm working for and encouraged her to seek the...

You can find the original author of the script by ggling " Py2Exe version 6.3 setup" The cool thing about this is that it calls py2exe, just in case you're uncomfortable with the command line.

Using Visual Studio 2005 and C#, is there a way to create a single file executable out of my project? We have made database tools that our employees use out on the manufacturing floor, and the executables are located on a central server. Our IT guy wants our executables to be contained in a single file like they were back when they used VB6, but .NET doesn't like this very well. He keeps copying the executables (after extracting them...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
