Re: Automatic form generation using F45gen32.exe

I've done this more or less sucessfullly (on win3.11) before with a freeware utility called 'BATSH'. Its like a windows version of dos batch files. On win 3.11 at least it can be setup to wait for a spawned (windows) command to complete before continuing. Try www.download.com; failing that, email me and I'll see if I can find our copy. Also, don't forget to set the BATCH=YES option on the command line.

However, D2K (v1.2 at least) F45GEN leaks memory like a sieve, and thus my script poops out after about 20-25 gens on a 16MB machine, requiring a restart of windows.

Also, I don't know if it will work on W95, or with Win32 apps anyway.

A suitable 'make' tool is very high on my wish list for dev2k!!!
