On 13-Apr-98, Vic Bates was avidly discussing BTM files under win95 with All VB> Why does win95 explorer not recognize BTM files as executable? Because you need to define it. Here is the JP solution: /* ----Cut Here--------------------- (JPBATCH.REG) REGEDIT4 ; JPBATCH.REG ; 08-Jan-98 ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; If your Windows configuration already allows you to edit the Properties ; of batch files (file type "batfile") by opening an Explorer Window ; ("My Computer", for example) and selecting "View", "Options", then ; "File Types", you don't need this file. ; ; If you don't see an entry for "MS-DOS Batch Files" or a similar name, ; or if the edit options are unavailable, and you prefer not having to ; modify the Windows registry "manually", this file can make the change ; for you: ; ; a. Double-click on this file and select the "Merge" action if one is ; available. As an alternative invoke ; ; REGEDIT JPBATCH.REG ; ; from any prompt in this directory. In either case, this will call ; the Microsoft Registry Editor and make the requested modification. ; ; b. To undo the (harmless) change, uncomment (remove the leading ; semicolon) the appropriate "EditFlags" line below, and re-run ; the procedure in step "a." above. ; [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\batfile] @="Batch File" "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00 ; make "batfile" editable ; "EditFlags"=hex:d0,04,00,00 ; reset to Win95 default ; "EditFlags"=hex:30,04,00,00 ; reset to WinNT default ; ; note: the original name of "MS-DOS Batch file" is somewhat confusing, ; especially if you are not running MS-DOS. We suggest you select the ; more neutral "Batch file" name by uncommenting the "@" line above : before invoking the Registry Editor, but that's entirely optional. ; ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ */ ----Cut Here--------------------- Works for me!

BB>>> It would be cool if 4dos tried to load a btm before a bat. TM>> It does! I made two batches in the following order: TM>> :: TROEP.BAT echo this is the BAT. :: end TM>> :: TROEP.BTM echo this is the BTM. :: end TM>> Then when I typed TROEP, the answer was: this is the BTM. BB> Nice, I mean cool. So...will it always do this (path aside)? BB> Is it documented? Please hold, BRB... Yup, found it... On the command-line press *twice*, then select Reference / Executable Files and File Searches... The first two paragraphs will answer your estion. If we read on, it will explain that 4Dos searches each directory in the path for executable files in the order: COM, EXE, BTM, BAT, and then the executable extensions. If nothing is found in the first dir, 4Dos moves on to the next, and tries all extensions again, in the aforementioned order. BB> I just ran some tests. I got the same result as you, Ted. BB> cool. I'm glad to have been of Help, Barry. It seems to be a documented bug Mene Sakkhet Ur-Seveh, Ted Menks Fido : 2:2449/236.51 / 2:284/412.51 PGPkeyID: 2048/1B2ACCED 1997/10/03 (available by RRQ) ...
