Some misc. stuff, etc..
« Reply #25 on: 2002-04-19 02:44:00 »
Heh, that's what the readme file is for?
Maybe you could name it
"RUN ME.bat"

Code: [Select]
Displays or changes file attributes.

ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [drive:][path][filename]
       [/S [/D]]

  +   Sets an attribute.
  -   Clears an attribute.
  R   Read-only file attribute.
  A   Archive file attribute.
  S   System file attribute.
  H   Hidden file attribute.
  [drive:][path][filename]
      Specifies a file or files for attrib to process.
  /S  Processes matching files in the current folder
      and all subfolders.
  /D  Processes folders as well.


The attrib command should be

attrib ff8.dls -r /s
right?

[Edit] But of course, it would have to be in a subfolder of wherever the user put it.  You could always add a cd at the top of the bat.... but then the update file wouldn't be in the right place...

...oh well, there's some ways to do it with a BATCH file but I'm not gonna mess with it too much right now.  I'm sure you can figure it out :-p

[Edit II]
Code: [Select]
D:>AARON_WAS_HERE
'AARON_WAS_HERE' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


Whatever happened to "Bad command or file name?"

Wait, no!  I got it!

Attrib *.dls -r /s


Yeah, I guess a readme COULD solve the idiot problems.....unless they're the types who disregard the readme file, thinkin' it'll just have information about what the patch does, and that it will tell you to run the .exe file....

Oh well, it's their fault for not reading the instructions....  :)
