Hello good people,
New user here. 😀 Just built myself a nice DOS rig (PentiumMMX-233, S3 Trio64V+, AWE-32, 64mb).
I run a pure MS-DOS 6.22 environment. I am using .bat files to launch my games (audio volume, mouse sensitivity, etc.). A new game I added runs too fast, and I have to slow the machine down, before I run it. That's fine, I know how to do that. I made a batch file, where the user can select between full speed (no slowdown) or 13% speed, which the game runs fine with. This works great. But I thought of going one step further.. I'd like to be able to set the speed at which it runs. This requires input from the user. A number (1-100) which should be store as a variable (like %speed% fx.), and then used when starting the slowdown process.
But I can't figure out how to get simple user input in a batch file. It baffles me. The "set /p" does not work. How is this done?
