Yep, entrenched and intrusive - I became heartily pissed off with Windows trying to
thrust the program down my throat every time that I opened a Dos Box. I did try (at
that time) to find a list of commands online, but was unable to so do.
Worse, openng the program gave me no guidance at all on how to use the program.
I'm lazy, running Win8.1 and I have just opened PowerShell - here's a screen grab
As you can see there's an almost illegible screen. Maximising leaves the window at
the same width just maximizes it top to bottom. No help available from F1 or from
the single drop-down menu and as I said previously no easily-found on-line list of
commands and how to use them.
Looking at the scripts that you very helpfully provided reminds of my mid-80s
experiences of CP/M and a few years after that my (very) brief peek at Unix.
I habitually use a Dos Box for small actions which would mean going all around the
houses in Windows and haven't written or needed to write a batch script this century,
probably not since the early 90s
It is well documented, so not sure why you would have any trouble finding out about the commands. It is infinitely more powerful that what you can do with batch files and almost any other scripting language.
This is the thing, I don't want to write and run scripts for small tasks with all of the checking
testing and debugging that that would entail (and not use from year to year after writing it)
when there is almost certainly a program out there that will do the job for me; I simply don't
have the time for it - which is why I posted here for info about a program that did what I want
That's very easy to get around, just de-select Options >> Delete source file after successful conversion.
That's easy to circumnavigate, EZ-CD now has a Search facility of it's own which is accessible from
Add Files and doesn't use the Windows Search facility, I don't remember seeing it before, so it's
a welcome addition.
