Hi. I am in the process of converting a Win98 batch file to run on NT, and have overcome most of the hurdles, including switching from "move" to "xcopy" and for existence of files vs. directories. I still have one problem. The 98 batch file ended by executing 3 separate executables. The NT batch file hangs after executing the first of the three, no matter what order. If I use task manager to kill off the existing application, the next will load... I need all three running at the same time as they are all interconnected via dcom. They are all custom programs, and starting them all manually does not produce any problems. I have tried calling separate batch files from within the main batch file, and invoking additional instances of CMD with no luck. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
