Hello can anyone help with the bat file below.
I'm on dos 6.22 on an old 486 at work
The bat works part way then fail.
Is it because M: and T: drives are on a network? Any ideas?


cls

@echo off


REM --- INPUT Command

echo BATCH_INPUT___hgQX-PPP_XPPP E#HH0E50EG0Ef0Ehs>myinput.com
echo myinput.bat hoAX5@@PZYh@xX5@D3!r/P[WX,b,-PZh>>myinput.com
echo X3!X2ErP,{,{PYX4=0ErWX,j,-PZh@@X3!=set input>>myinput.com
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
echo This bat file will do the following to the jig number entered
echo Copy it from m:\tecnost to c:\shrunk
echo Unshrink it
echo Copy c:\cadentry\dir\ to t:\tfr
echo Delete the jig zip file from the shrunk folder
echo.This is what you normally do manually
echo.
echo.
echo Type in the jig number:

myinput.com
call myinput.bat
echo.

echo.
del myinput.com
del myinput.bat

REM ---End ot the Input Command---
echo on
REM --------shows you the input Variable on the screen------------
echo %input%
copy m:\tecnost\%input%.zip c:\shrunk
unshrink %input%

The following two lines fail
copy c:\cadentry\dir\%input%\*.* t:\tfr\%input%
erase c:\shrunk\%input%


Echo All finished

THat would be my guess that the network drives cannot be accessed from your batch file.

That's what I thought. But if I use the last two lines and a new input in a new bat file and run that straight after the first then those lines work! Weird.

Found the problem.
The unshrink command was another bat file. I substituted it with pkunzip %1 and the whole thing worked.
