How can my bat file boot to Clipper and Xbase++

[gaspen200]

My System is a Pentium 133, 128 RAM. Operating system is WIN95 SR2

I am not sure on how to modifiy my Autoexec.bat file to allow me to switch ot one of two environments. I am want to migrate my Clipper software to Alaska Ebase++. I want to include a 30 second pause, before accepting the default set up, which would be the first set up. I have ECHO ON because I want to see what is going on until I have everything right. I intend to step through the starT up until I get it right. Coul you edit the below lines to accomplish this goal?

Gaspen,

Why don't you setup 2 batch files, one to do the sets for the Clipper environment, the other for Xbase. Call the approprite one from the compile bat file and you should be OK.

xBASE++ is supplied with exactly what you need to
do this. The 2 files are called DINO.BAT and AUTOXPP.BAT
and should already be loaded on your computer.

Read page 4 of the xBASE++ Basic Users Guide in the
section "Switching the environment". If you have
not installed the product correctly or from approved
and complete media then you should send an email to
<support@us.alaska-software.com>
