Stop using batch files

[Oberth]

Hi there . . .

My first post here so need to get the important part out of the way GameEx is cool

Right now thats done . . . I've noticed that many of you like myself are using GameEx for all manner of things some of which are commandline driven. But using .BAT files can cause all sorts of problems and if somethings not going to plan it can be hard to debug. Take a look at Batchrun it basically can do everything you need from a batch file but no console windows, no nasty 16bit subsystems etc . . . plus you can 'step through' the batch to troubleshoot and can kill running processes (handy for joytokey for example)

I mainly at the moment am using it to make a DOSBOX section for GameEx which when you select the game unpacks a zip to a temp dir, runs the game inside dosbox plus any other bits (joytokey) then once done packs any hiscores or saves back up to the main zip then deletes the contents of the temp dir, and the only .bat files are for inside dosbox where it needs them.

Hope you guys and girls find this helps you with some of your projects . . .
