Subject: DOS batch quirks and environment variable weirdness.
After spending a number of times going through trying to figure out
what went wrong with batch files and several pieces of software that
used environment variables, I decided to perform some experiments...
I'm sure that there have been many people who have performed similar
experiments, but I think that for those who haven't tried them it would
benefit greatly...
The problem arises in how the DOS command processor handles many
constructs. I ended up spending quite a long time trying to figure out
why some of my software stopped working on a system where it used to
work fine. It turned out that someone edited the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and
changed the SET statements that assigned the environment variables.
The only thing that changed within the SET statements were extra spaces
around the '=', which at first doesn't seem to change the statement.
Here is a batch file that can be used to illustrate some of the things
I've discovered:
] @echo off
] echo off
] rem
] rem .---------------------------------------------------------------.
] rem ! This is a batch file to show how DOS handles some constructs. !
] rem ! DOS handles environment variables in weird ways... It also !
] rem ! uses the = as a token separator, which gets eaten up in the !
] rem ! command parser in some cases, and not in others. !
] rem `---------------------------------------------------------------'
] rem
] echo.
] echo ECHOing blank lines is sometimes difficult.
] echo.
] echo The = character has special meaning to the command processor.
] echo.=============================================================
] echo The above line gives expected results,
] echo however the following line does not:
] echo =============================================================
] echo.
] echo.
] echo.============
] echo == Before ==
] echo.============
] set
] set Test=Test#1
] set Test =Test#2
] set Test ] 1 [ =I am brain-dead
] set Test] 1 [ =DOS is truly brain-dead
] set Neato=ECHO ---- This is really neat eh ? ----
] echo.
] echo.===========
] echo == After ==
] echo.===========
] set
] echo 0 [%Test%] 1 [ %Test% ] 2
] echo 0 [%Test %] 1 [ %Test % ] 2
] echo 0 [%Test ] 1 [ %Test ] 2
] echo 0 [%Test] 1 [ %Test ] 2
] %Neato%
] set Test=
] set Test =
] set Test ] 1 [ =
] set Test] 1 [ =
] set Neato=
If you notice, some of the echo statements contain a period ('.')
immediately after ECHO. Placing the period there allows one to echo a
blank line without generating the annoying 'ECHO is ON' or 'ECHO is
OFF' message. As far as I've tested, this technique has worked on most
versions (2.0 and later) of DOS, though I have encountered versions in
which this did not work. Because of the way the command parser parses
out tokens, you might get some unexpected results -- especially if
you're used to using the UNIX shell languages.
The following is the output generated by the previously listed batch
file (as with the batch program, I've prepended ' ] ' to the lines so
that I can somehow hilight the lines):
]
] ECHOing blank lines is sometimes difficult.
]
] The = character has special meaning to the command processor.
] =============================================================
] The above line gives expected results,
] however the following line does not:
] ECHO is off
]
]
] ============
] == Before ==
] ============
] COMSPEC=Y:COMMAND.COM
] PROMPT=$P$G
] PATH=Y:.;X:.
]
]
] ===========
] == After ==
] ===========
] COMSPEC=Y:COMMAND.COM
] PROMPT=$P$G
] PATH=Y:.;X:.
] TEST=Test#1
] TEST =Test#2
] TEST ] 1 [ =I am brain-dead
] TEST] 1 [ =DOS is truly brain-dead
] NEATO=ECHO ---- This is really neat eh ? ----
] 0 [Test#1] 1 [ Test#1 ] 2
] 0 [Test#2] 1 [ Test#2 ] 2
] 0 [I am brain-deadTest ] 2
] 0 [DOS is truly brain-deadTest ] 2
] ---- This is really neat eh ? ----
Anyway, there are a few lessons to be learned from the seemingly
bizarre behavior of this batch script.
o When it comes to spaces, DOS considers them to be important,
especially in the case of environment variables -- you can even have
imbedded spaces in the environment variable assignments.
o The '=' character has special significance, and so it can't be used
in some places. One surprise to me was when I found out that I
couldn't echo a line containing just '='s and spaces, but if you follow
the example of the ECHO command that echos a blank lines, you'll see a
method by which you should be able to ECHO such a line.
o The '.' character has also significance in parsing of commands one
way you can use them is with the ECHO command to trick it into doing
things it doesn't normally do.
o When referencing environment variables, make sure that you fully
enclose the environment variable reference with the % character, since
environment variables may contain some characters that are special
symbols (parenthesis, square braces) in most other languages.
o It might be good idea to make sure that your library routines to
handle environment variables can handle spaces that appear before and
after the '=' in the environment. This way we can make sure that there
aren't any surprises if you do have them. I've been bitten by this
problem way too many times in several of my own programs that worked
fine under UNIX, but wouldn't work reliably under MS-DOS because of the
fact that sometimes there were spaces around the = in the SET commands
in a batch file, while other times there were none.
* I'm probably wasting my time trying to figure out ways in which I
can work around the bugs in the command processor and I should be
spending my time writing a more reasonable one (and probably make lots
of money selling one). Either that or just dump IBM-PC's and MS/PC-DOS
altogether for a REAL computer with a REAL operating system... Like a
TRS-80 model I with TRSDOS ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)
If anybody has any comments or corrections to what I've said, please
feel free to respond. And please take note that I'm posting this at
about 4 a.m. so I'm probably not thinking straight -- and so I might
actually be spewing nonsense and wasting $$$ clogging up the bandwith
with this useless babbling...

I have been using the CheckIt program with success. Sorry, I do not
have it handy, and cannot remember the name of the manufacturer.
It is a smart and friendly program. It will report your configuration,
test your hardware, run benchmarks on your CPU, hard disk, video, and
math coprocessor. It can low-level format many hard disks.
I recommend it, but I am not affiliated with the company other than a

A simple way is to use the PATH command to display the time before and
after the task runs. You should put the command in a .bat file with
ECHO ON so that the timing is displayed. You can use a program like
Fansi Console to save the screen, so that the data is not lost when the
application writes to the screen. That will bias the results, however,
because FC speeds things up.

Subject: Turbo C graphics
Anyone out there know the format Borland uses for storing the images it
grabs with the getimage() function for 640x480, 16 color modes? I
would like to manipulate the image after getting it and then put it
back with putimage(). The data seems to be compressed somehow, but I
can't find any reference to how it is compressed.

We are looking for a way to grab frames from all kinds of applications,
to store them and to display them later on the PC's screen as a kind of

but we need something more sophisticated. Any pointers will be

Subject: GRASP, floppy problem, DRAM chips
I have a few questions.
1. Does anybody know how to use the GRASP interpreter? What the video
requirements are? Or other Hardware requirements? (It's supposed to
show animated movies on the screen.) Is there anywhere I can get
related applications for this?
2. I have a problem with floppies sometimes. They sometimes don't turn
in their jackets and I can't get them to loosen up. This causes the
disk to be unreadable. Is there anything I can do for these? By the
way, I've never had any trouble with generic disks, but Verbatim disks
give me trouble the most, whether they are new or old.
3. I have a motherboard with some empty sockets. I assume these are for
adding more RAM chips. What kind of chips can I put in there? I would
like to do this myself but I've seen a few different kinds of chips
when they are sold separately in catalogs.
What are the differences between DRAMS, SIMMS, and the other chips and
which can I put in those empty sockets in my motherboard? Is there any
other special hardware I will need when I add these chips?

Subject: Tape Drive Wanted
Hello |
I'm looking for a tape drive, which can be used as a 'standard' tape,
not only as a streamer.
I want to use this tape as a backup-media (I got to backup 100Mbyte)
and as a mass-storage-unit for archiving purposes. For this, it should
be possible to use standard MS-DOS-Commands for writing and reading the
tape. Otherwise, if it is impossible to use the standard commands,
special commands like 'MOUNT' or 'PUTFILE' would be ok.
Does anybody know about such a tape? Or how I can get it? A manufactor
in Europe would be preferred.
Bye for now

Subject: multiple drive controllers
Is it possible to install more than one drive controller in a
pc-compatible (in two or more slots) so that e.g.:
- the first one controlls (MFM): two floppy drives and one MFM-HD
- the second controlls a IDE-HD.
Can this be made working:
- for a MSDOS-environment
- for a unix (coherent) environment?
I have a 386SX/16 Mhz clone with AMI BIOS.
Thanks for all comments,

Subject: UUCP for IBM & Sun
Hi folks. Question for you all: I have UUPC / Extended 1.07H source,
and the Turbo C++ Professional Environment. I am trying to establish a
reliable mail link to a Sun 3/60 workstation running SunOS 4.0.3 and am
having no success at all. All my configurations/setups/scripts are
correct, but once my UUPC logs in and starts talking, there comes a
point when suddenly I'm receiving null packets and everything hangs.
Occasionally, my machine will *literally* hang, and require a power
cycle.
So... Is there a newer source version out and/or where can I get it?
I must have the source because I have to make a slight modification to
the login scripting routines to get through a data switch and a
terminal server with an excess of non-static "expect" lines.
Has anyone done this successfully? Are there quirks about TC++ (in
non-c++ mode, BTW) ? I hope to get this part of the link stable, and
use SMAIL as my mailer interface.
PLEASE: reply to ME as well as to the digest.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Wanted: recommendation of spelling checker
I would appreciate a recommendation of a spelling checker, preferably
shareware available on simtel.
I have PC Write and find its spelling checker awkward to use and slow.
I tried Grammatik IV and found it flakey. It reported errors in words
even after it had "learded" them. I ran the same file twice, after
loading the words "learned" and it appeared to make no difference.
The ispell program on UNIX is my favorite spelling checker. I believe
it is based on work at the Stanford AI lab some 20 years ago. By any
chance, is a version available for the PC?
Sincerely,
