Hi - I admire how well this program works. I am using it with QuickBasic 4.5 (which is or was as good as Fortran, at least for calculations).
In this context I tried to make a .bat thing using "copy con x.bat" - possible under eg MSDOS. That didn't work. Did I do something the wrong way? Ok- anyway, I used an editor and I got my batch. Anybody any ideas about 'copy con' ?
doesn't work in dosbox. no game needs it
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
Thanks

Didn't think anyone used "copy con" anymore. There are plenty of editors, including the QuickBASIC IDE. I use the DOS version of Vim - a bit slow to start up, but it's still Vim 😀

or you could run edit.exe from dos in dosbox

I still use copy con on a very regular basis when I just need to make a 1-3 line batch file from a command prompt.
Copy con: The only text entry method crazier than edlin.

That's what I meant, forgot about that. EDIT was based on QBASIC, wasn't it? Or was that HELP?
