Creating Batch Files With Same Name As .EXE F |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: If a batch file is created with the same name (except for the .BAT extension) as a .EXE file in the same directory, the .EXE file will run, not the batch file. For example, if a user creates a WP.BAT file in the WordPerfect directory where WP.EXE exists, DOS will run WP.EXE, not WP.BAT. The batch file can be renamed (i.e., WP5.BAT), it can be placed in a separate directory, or the .EXE file name can be changed (i.e., WP5.EXE). Such batch files are usually used to start the program (probably with a startup option), so if the batch file is placed in a separate directory, the user will need to start from the other directory. If the .EXE file is changed, the batch file should be edited to reflect the new filename. |
