CMD2EXE converts FlexOS programs to MS-DOS programs. The syntax of CMD2EXE is:
CMD2EXE options programnames
programnames specifies one or more .286 files to be converted. The following options are available with CMD2EXE:
|
−CMD pathname\ |
Specifies where to find the DOS .CMD files |
|
−EXE pathname\ |
Specifies where to place the converted files |
|
−DUMMY pathname\ |
Specifies where to find the dummy files needed for the conversion |
|
−286 |
Specifies conversion from .286 files. (You should always specify this) |
If you use the −CMD,−EXE or −DUMMY options it is important to put a trailing backslash after the pathname, unless it just refers to the current directory on another drive (e.g. −EXE d: )
The command:
CMD2EXE -286 DBASE.286 −CMD C:\WORK\ −EXE C:\EXEWORK\ −DUMMY C:\DP4\DUMMY\converts the FlexOS program C:\WORK\DBASE.CMD to the MS-DOS program C:\EXEWORK\DBASE.EXE.
If you really want to you can then convert the generated MS-DOS program to run on another operating system with EXE2UNIX or EXE2OS2!
