Running .bat files.

I've been looking for the past two hours and it is getting rather late but cannot find anything concerning .bat files.

I came across a never opened copy of Castles 2 today. Remember playing the game as a child and really liking it.

The game uses a file titled c2cd.bat to run. The exe file it runs also needs other files to operate correctly. As such it would seem the .bat file is required to run my game.

If someone could point me to wherever I need to go to learn how to execute the .bat file. It would be greatly appreciated.

Well, you type the filename and hit return (in DOS).

Preferrably with the .bat to avoid confusion if a .com or .exe file is in the
same directory any you don't want to look up/remember the order.

Probably the batch file contains parameters for the game to operate correctly

OK! I got it! Needed to mount the CD rom as this game includes movies and such. Thanks!
