The MS-DOS specs on W98 don't seem to match the ones used in update.bat (the script to upgrade from a previous version of Forte) on 2 points : 1) The W98 syntax of 'if [not] exists <file> goto <label>' checks for an actual file, and doesn't match directory names, so the lines : --- if not exist "%1\SYSTEM" goto NO_OLD_FORTE4J if not exist "%FORTE4J%\SYSTEM" goto NO_NEW_FORTE4J ... if exist "%FORTE4J%\SYSTEM.OLD" goto SYS_EXISTS --- don't work (no update is thus possible), and should be replaced by : --- if not exist "%1\SYSTEM\*.*" goto NO_OLD_FORTE4J if not exist "%FORTE4J%\SYSTEM\*.*" goto NO_NEW_FORTE4J ... if exist "%FORTE4J%\SYSTEM.OLD\*.*" goto SYS_EXISTS --- 2) The options used for xcopy are not recognized. The line : --- xcopy "%1\SYSTEM" "%FORTE4J%\SYSTEM" /EIQ --- isn't valid and should be replaced by : --- xcopy "%1\SYSTEM" "%FORTE4J%\SYSTEM" /E /I /Q --- ... just my 0.50 BEF :-)
Automated change of version from Other to Dev.
