Resolved Shop for Software Online.

It would be nice if computer stores carried wee bits of software. I need 64-bit YESNO.COM for Windows 7, for BATCHNAME.BAT that I run in DOS. The batches run in ME, so I know they're written correctly. Can anyone recommend a SAFE online store where a person can download a simple little bit of software like that? And I hope they take credit cards; I don't want to open an account I might not use again for months or years.

 

It is good practise to ensure a Vender's policy grants a money refund in cases the software does not work properly on your computer or download is corrupt. Expensive software best obtained on a CD/DVD, again same policy applies. Best being safe than sorry.

 

This isn't about BASIC.EXE. I know about the incompatibility, which is why I need YESNO.COM for Windows 7. So where can I safely download a teeny bit of software by itself instead of as part of a package?

 

It looks like no one has the answer. I'm still searching the Internet, but I'll close this thread. If someone runs across it someday and can help, my e-mail is removed by Moderator to protect you against spammers
Well, I would close it if I knew how. What's the procedure?

 

Please post your BATCHNAME.BAT.

 

BATCHNAME.BAT was an example. I have a few batches that require YESNO.COM. But maybe you want me to show a batch? Here's a sample of C-TO-E.BAT:
YESNO This takes 17 minutes. Do you want to run it now?
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO END
COPY C:\MUSIC\*.* E:\MUSIC\*.*
COPY C:\CARS\*.* E:\CARS\*.*
COPY C:\........... [As many commands as I want.]
:END

[The YESNO line prints, then waits for the operator to type Y or N.]
[Errorlevel1 = Yes, so fall thru and run till :END. Else, go to :END]
[These commands in DOS back up specified C-drive directories to flash drive instead of constant click-and-drag.]
[YESNO.COM (dated 11/15/88) is in the directory this batch is in. It works in ME.]

 

@echo off
set /p answer=This takes 17 minutes; run it now? ([Y]es/[N]o)?
if /i {%answer%}=={y} (goto :yes)
exit
:Yes
copy c:\music\*.* e:\music
copy c:\cars\*.* e:\cars
:End​

?

 

Eureka! This does what I want. The only teensy difference is I have to tap ENTER after answering the question; I can live with it. Thank you, SpywareDr. Now I can mark this RESOLVED.

 

You're welcome.
