A few months ago, there were a bunch of submissions to the newsgroup which showed how to patch MS-DOS so that the default ECHO when running a batch procedure was OFF. I hate having to put the ECHO OFF command into every procedure I write and seeing it echo when the procedure gets run. I'm using MS-DOS 3.2 and 3.3. Would some kind soul please send me copy of a "make ECHO OFF the default" patch? Thanks, Les Flodrowski University of Western Ontario LES@VAXI.UWO.CA Social Science Computing Lab LES@UWOVAX.BITNET

Hello Les, in DOS 3.3, You will still have to put the echo off statement in but if you put @echo off, it will not be displayed... I do not have the data for the patch here so perhaps, somebody else could post that. btw, the @ char does not work in 3.2 BCNU Dries Bessels Amsterdam Holland

at the beginning of the line of a batch file, and it won't show up on the screen at all. Makes things MUCH nicer to watch... Andy
