Hi, I was trying to convert a batch script to a binary executable, via some program I found on the net (bat2com) This is a simplied example of the bacth script I want to convert: =========================== ... echo stuff >> logfile.log ... type file1.txt > cm.txt type file2.txt >> cm.txt type file3.txt >> cm.txt ... something.exe < input.inp ... =========================== I then checked wheter or not this batfile works as it should, no problem there. Then I convert it to an executable, resulting in the following: the echo redirection : he just shows the text on-screen (iso putting it in the file) the redirection via > : bad command the reverse redirection : abort, retry, fail writing to PRN Does anybody have any idea how I should convert this batch-program into a valid working executable ?

Solved the issue, created the binary executable with only a call to a batchfile. That way I can do whatever I want in the batchfile, and still have my exectable as starting point. Only disadvantage is that I have one more file, what the heck .. it works.
