Greetings All! The following is some DOS code I put together. It allows for a percentage of completion to be displayed of a DOS program. It was created for Admins to monitor progress of DOS programs which run on the network. Often we (Admins) have to run DOS programs and we don't know how long until completion. Now we can! (With limitations...) The code scans an input file and counts the number of lines to process. It then computes the fractional and displays the result. DOS doesn't like displaying real numbers (12.234 etc) so I had to work the code to simulate a real number output. Keys: counter(s) in DOS Keys: real number(s) in DOS Start Code: ------------- REM This program will display the percent of completion REM in pinging all computers on the domain.
