Re: [foxboro] Simple UNIX tasks on a Windows platform

Joe,

You mentioned the command prompt window so I assume that you're not
using a shell window.

Try this short VBscript to create a shell window:

---- begin VBscript ----
'***********************************************************************
' File:      Unix Shell.vbs
' Author:    EAF - 11/21/01
' Revisions:
'
' VBScript file to open a Unix shell on the desktop
'***********************************************************************
Option Explicit

' Error handling
On Error Resume Next

' Initial definitions
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell =3D Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run "d:\nutc\bin\ncenv.cmd && d: && cd \ && sh", 1, False
---- end VBscript ----

Drop a shortcut to this script on the desktop and use it instead of the
command prompt. You'll like it much better.

I don't know how to define the buffer size from within the calling
script, so I have to adjust it in the Properties setting then save it
for all future sessions (or something along that line).

Of course, use at your own risks.

Duc

Subject: [foxboro] Simple UNIX tasks on a Windows platform

Windows folks,
Please help me perform some previously simple UNIX tasks on a this
Windows
platform...

I used to run iccdrvr.tsk (ADD/MODIFY blocks) and could view the results
by
scrolling back up the VT100 window or redirecting the output to a log
file.
I need to review for errors, etc.  I cannot seem to figure out a way to
do
it on the Windows platform.  I tried to redirect the output to a log
file;
that did not work.  I tried to increase the size of the command prompt
window (buffer size =3D 999 and number of buffers =3D 999); and that did =
not
work. =20

Any other suggestions?
