Re: Oracle 7.3 on Win95 - Batch file problem

Use the Dos version , not the windows version, i.e. on NT4.0 I would use plus33.exe instead of plus33w.exe to get around the same problem. Batch files will start windows exes in another window, whilst old dos commands are run in the same VM and will have to finish before the next command is read.

Hope this helps. Not too sure how similar NT and 95 are in this respect.
