first, i am no longer using wengiers dos
i am using the dos from win95 osr2 with 3xstart applied
now to the subject,
i have a batch file where around 500+ files are extractted to specific locations from cab files which are at a given location
i would like to have a progress bar like the standard setups to show the % of files copied to be displayed rather than the dos output from the extract command
it has to be run under plain dos
i have no idea how to do this
any suggestions ?
thankx in advance

truth is stranger than fiction

Something like:

@echo off
set stars=*
echo %stars%
extract somefile some.cab
set stars=%stars%*
echo %stars%
extract thatfile that.cab

[and so on]

I think you're out of luck for percentage.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

wengier's dos installation disk has a program called suscr.exe which is used to make the setup screen .googling for suscr.exe gave me only one page and that was in chinese. the translation was not very helpful
any body knows how to use suscr.exe ?
