BAT to EXE for trunker

[KC5TAL]

BAT2EXEC.ZIP

i am useing this compiler and it works wonders executing
the trunker file with bat files (now *.com files)
any one have new ideas or other tricks or info
:roll: :shock:

I am a little confused. Why would you need to change .bat files to executible files? Indeed, unless you are using DOS only and don't want to change sub-directories by hand, why are you using .bat files at all? :?

I have two batch files on my laptop.

MENU.BAT sets up a nested menu that allows me to run all of my radio software and to select trunked systems to be tracked (except Motorola, where it isn't necessary because of the unique system IDs) by pressing a couple of keys.

CLEANUP.BAT sweeps through all the trunking subdirectories and removes the .bak and other useless files after a session.

Well, yeah, a menu via bat file implementation is an old DOS trick and a pretty good use of bat files. Just adds to the ease of operation (assuming you are running DOS and not Windows.) I am not sure I agree with the elimination of the .BAK files, I have found them too useful in the past when something went wrong. They are overwritten with the next session on that system ID anyway.

In any case, turning a .bat file into an executable file for local use seems a bit much. I mean, as a developer, I used a similar program in the past to keep end users from changing implementation files, but that was long (a long long time :? ) ago. :wink:
