Howto multiple commands in .cmd file

[stratcat]

I need to start 2 progs at once.
A cmd file containing

rem start cmd file
prog1.exe
prog2.exe
rem end cmd file

or

rem start cmd file
prog1.exe & prog2.exe
rem end cmd file

doesn't do it.
prog2.exe won't start until prog1.exe ends and both
progs need to run simultaneously.
I'm sure I'm overlooking something stupidly simple.%-(
Any clues?
Thanks,
Emory

Use like this:

start prog1.exe
start prog2.exe

That should fix it.

I found that a few minutes after I posted.
Also added "sleep 2" between the commands to give
prog1 time to stabilize. sleep.exe is from the
NT reskit.

Thanks :-D
