And why should it not be possible to go both ways? You can edit the INI file via the OPTION-dialogue or using a texteditor. The documentation about the entries can reside in a separate paragraph item and would not be red by the "multitude of users".

Really, I didn´t know this, sorry. BTW: I don´t find in the helpfile the explanation of all the possible entries of the INI-file, I remember at 4Dos- / 4NT-times they were there. Because I don´t like to set the parameters by the OPTION-dialogue, I prefer the good old texteditor (Real Programmer...

Thank you all, the story has an end (at least for the present): I set (as I wrote in my previous posting) the TCSTART and TCEXIT paths into the INI and, wondering, it worked: TCEXIT was called and executed, although it was the same path as COMSPEC (and as before the whole time). Then I erased...

exitfile=Yes

Yes, I have it completely disabled. No, because I want it to be portable. If it would be possible to use environment variables in the INI, I would do it (and set the appropriate vars before). But, as you can see in all my batches and settings, I strongly prefer using adjustable settings. But...

In the meantime, I created a batch file named insteadoftcexit.btm with this content history > %SetDir\HISTORY *exit an set the aliases "x" and "exit" to this batch file -- works fine! Greetings!

I´m running Win7Pro & and why do you think this redirection will not work? If I do it from the commandline explicitly, it works fine. The right TCSTART is been finded in the directory: I putted a "echo halihalo" just into this one version and it echoed it to me. Both files have the correct .BTM...

Hi Rex, have not heard from you a long time. Thx for the answer, I know this sequence out of the documentation. My COMSPEC points to the installation directory. According to this TCSTART is executed properly, its at the same location. The one & only command in TCEXIT is "history >...

I have no TCSTART/TCEXIT path settings, they reside in the TCC/TCMD installation directory. TCSTART is executed properly, but not TCEXIT. Greetings

I have a history-saving command in my TCEXIT.btm and recently I recongized that the last change of the history file is from March 2011. So I experimented and took a MSGBOX-command into the TCEXIT, but nothing happened after exiting the TCC-session and, of course, also the history >...

I had this version: TCC 9,02.151 Windows XP [Version 5,1,2600] TCC Build 151 Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Yesterday I run an update to .152, all has seem to be OK. In the System Control/Software section TCMD is now reported as version 9.02.152 as expected. But the ver /r...

When using copy /u /s Dir1 Dir2 while Dir1 or a subdir of it contains no files but only subdirs there comes a message "no more files" and an internal error %2 is thrown. Although this behaviour is probalby correct (I do not exactly know the specs) is it unusable: using this in a batch file with...

It's only somewhat unreadable -- it uses a very simple compression algorithm that can be undone in a few minutes. The encryption option makes it hard for the casual user (though certainly not impossible for the more experienced ones). An important information, thank you. Is there a max...

Seems I made a mistake, sorry, all works fine now. But, on the other hand, what is encryption during batcomp good for? A batcomp'd file is already unreadable.

I cannot find anywhere in the doku how to handle an encrypted batcomp'd BTM-file. What is to do to run it? It always says "unknown command "<some quirk>"". Greetings WB
