From: Mitchell A. Hoselton
File: BATCH_IO.EXE
A minor bug-fix for Version 1.4.
Author: Mitchell A. Hoselton
Needs: No special requirements
This file is self-extracting zip file; run it in the directory where
you want to store the Batch File I/O Utilities. (

evaluation copy of the Batch File I/O Utilities)
Download time @28,800 < 40 seconds.
Keywords: Hoselton, Batch File, I/O, BEEP, CDD, CLSCOLOR, COLDBOOT,
CURSOR, ENVIFREE, GET_KEY, GTSTRING, ISDIR, WAIT, WARMBOOT,
tones, change drive, change directory, environment size,
key, string, directory, pause, warm, cold, boot, reboot,
color, clear screen, cursor position.
Type: Shareware (Fee: $25.00)
The Batch File I/O Utilities package includes 11 utilities providing
batch file programmers with quick and easy-to-use tools for:
controlling the cursor position and color when writing messages to the display,
testing and changing drives and/or directories,
clearing the screen with color,
initiating a warm or cold boot,
testing the number of unused bytes in the DOS environment,
accepting a single key or an entire string of input from the user,
pausing the batch file for a specified interval, and
issuing one tone or a series of tones from the PC speaker.
The utilities' names, parameters, and functions are:
NAME Parameters [optional parameters] Function or Feature
~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BEEP [frequency duration ...] Sound tones
CDD [d:][path] Change drive & directory
CLSCOLOR [[bright] [blink] fg ON bg] Clear with color change
COLDBOOT [yes|no] Reboot, like RESET
CURSOR [[bright] [blink] fg ON bg] row col [Message] Color, location, message
ENVIFREE [test nnn] Test environment size
GET_KEY [nn] [Message] Get a single keystroke
GTSTRING [nn] [Message] Get an entire string
ISDIR [d:][path] Test directory existence
WAIT [nn] Pause processing
WARMBOOT [yes|no] Reboot, {Ctrl}{Alt}{Del}
These utilities are all small and easy to use. With the ? parameter each
displays a short syntax note. They are designed to make it easy to control
"input to" and "output from" batch files and to supplement native DOS
utilities.

Keywords: Hoselton, Batch File, BAT, IF ERRORLEVEL,
Exit Code, Set, Save, Flow Control, Looping, Branching
Type: Shareware (Fee: $25.00)Traditionally, only compiled programs set the DOS exit code, typically, to indicate either a normal exit (0) or one of several non-zero values identifying a type of exit error. Batch file programmers now have the option to use the DOS exit code. It has a surprising number of uses that are not well enumerated in the usual DOS manuals and programming books. This package includes text and examples of most of these along with the Exit Code Utilities, themselves.
The Exit Code Utilities allow batch file programmers to set, save, increase, decrease, and reset the value of the DOS exit code. Exit codes, once saved, can be recalled and tested or used later for a variety of purposes. They can serve as indices for simple, compound, and nested looping operations. Saved exit codes can be reset and tested again and again by the original batch file, by any of its subroutines, and by linked and unlinked batch files provided they are run prior to the next reboot; and also provided that any DOS environment variable used to store an exit code is not edited, altered or deleted.
The basic ability to set, save, or reset the exit code can, by itself, be a valuable tool for program debugging and control. Access to the entire range of 256 exit code values has not, until now, been widely available to most batch file programmers and this single feature will greatly simplify many debugging sessions and enhance program flow control.
The Exit Code Utilities add to that an ability to systematically increase or decrease both exit codes and saved numeric strings. In these simple utilities programmers finally have the tools they've long needed to perform the counting and indexing operations that native DOS does not provide. The Exit Code Utilities provide all the tools required to create simple or complex, single or nested loops of unprecedented size (loops indexed into the billions of repetitions can easily be created, for example, though that is still an impracticably large limit to actually use in a real batch file application). A whole new area for batch file programming and experimentation will be opened up to programmers using these utilities.
The core of the Exit Code Utilities consists of six program files. Three are compiled programs that set the exit code based on a given number or a numeric value stored in a DOS variable. The other three are batch file programs that will store a numeric value, based on the value of the current DOS exit code, in the DOS environment.
The exit code setting utilities set the exit code to a given value, or to the integer just above or just below the given value. The exit code saving utilities store the current value of the exit code, or the integer just above or just below the current value. This ability to increase and decrease the exit code, both while saving and setting it, is a feature unique to these utilities and sets the Exit Code Utilities apart and ahead of all other utility sets that work with the DOS exit code.
The three compiled, exit code setting, utilities expect a number or a reference to a stored numeric value on the command line. The exit code is always set modulo 256, and leading zeros and digits after the decimal point are always ignored.
SET_EXIT.COM - sets the exit code to the given number or numeric value.
SET_EX&1.COM - sets the exit code to the integer just above the given value.
SET_EX-1.COM - sets the exit code to the integer just below the given value.
The last two utilities, respectively, increase and decrease the exit code as it is set. Used in alternating steps with a utility that saves the current value of the exit code, they will perform integer count-up and count-down operations.
A DOS variable referenced on the command line of these three compiled utilities can be a DOS environment variable (%evar%), a DOS replaceable parameter (%1, %2, etc.), or a FOR command {set} variable (%%a, %%Q, etc.). If the variable has a non-numeric value the exit code is set to zero.
The three batch file, exit code saving, utilities all read the current value of the exit code and store an integer value in the DOS environment. The command line is either blank or contains the name of the user chosen environment variable where the value will be stored. If the command line is blank, a variable named LEVEL is created or co-opted to hold the stored integer value. Any valid environment variable name can be included on the command line to specify a variable other than LEVEL as the storage location. This makes it easy to save any number of exit codes for later testing or manipulation.
SAVEEXIT.BAT - stores the current integer value of the exit code.
SAVEEX&1.BAT - stores the integer just above the current exit code value.
SAVEEX-1.BAT - stores the integer just below the current exit code value.
The last two utilities, respectively, increase and decrease of the value as it is saved. Used in alternating steps with a utility that simply resets the exit code to the stored value, they will perform integer count-up and count-down operations.
These batch file based utilities must be called using the DOS CALL command, therefore, they will only work on systems running DOS version 3.3, or later.
(For completeness, three nearly identical batch file based, exit code saving, utilities are also provided. They always store the value using three digits. They simply pad the result with leading zeros whenever necessary to get three digits in every case.)
The exit code or a series of saved exit codes can be used to control branch points within one or more batch files, for example. Using one saved exit code programmers can create a simple loop that will repeat up to 256 times. Using four saved exit codes, they can create a series of nested loops whose inner loop operations are repeated up to 256 x 256 x 256 x 256 = over 4 billion times.
Sample batch files demonstrating these types of operations are included in the self-extracting archive file named SET_SAVE.EXE. By using nested loops, each controlled by a different variable, looping operations can be controlled in any integer base from 2 to 256, inclusive.
