    Create 366-day month, day, comments subfolder set

    The long version will work under TCC/LE, which doesn't allow user-defined functions. It would be easier (example October) to omit FOR %%Day_Num in (01 ... And just use: FOR /L %Day_Num in (1,1,31) GOSUB Make_Folders And then in Make_Folders IF %Day_Num LT 10 SET %Day_Num=0%Day_Num MKDIR "%MO...

    TCC/LE not seeing tcstart.btm in Win 11

    I am using Win 11 Home on an unsupported machine. That can be done with Rufus. It is a fresh install, mainly for investigation. I installed TCC/LE 14 and when I double-click the icon it opens to the TCC/LE command line as expected. But none of my aliases, etc., work. I have a file setalias.btm...

    COMMAND.COM IS 40 YEARS OLD

    That's not what I'm saying. My point is that if MS had continued active development, it would pretty much look like TCMD. For instance, several years ago I suggested to JPSoft adding Library functionality, which is pretty much universal in modern languages--that's how that got added. A lot of...

    Done Tie-in to Win 10 x64's WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux

    And this is one reason Microsoft is integrating Linux. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/windows-11-cheat-sheet-everything-you-need-to-know/...

    Done Tie-in to Win 10 x64's WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux

    You keep making claims about "impossible", but they're simply not true. As I've already pointed out in this thread, Microsoft already has a way to pass commands, variables, and results between Windows and WSL. That is what makes "integration" possible-- someone writing a Windows program could...

    Done Tie-in to Win 10 x64's WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux

    John, I set up this thread to monitor Microsoft's progress in fully integrating WSL into Windows. At some point (probably 2-3 years away) TCC will need to fully and transparently handle Linux access, at least WSL. This thread is not for "how to" questions, it's just a convenience for JPSoft's...

    Talk to Amazon about having TCC-RT available on AWS

    Talk to Amazon about making TCC-RT available as a free selectable option on AWS for all their supported Windows implementations. Related to that, check out this regarding Amazon EC2: the operating systems they support.

    Website Home Page suggestions

    The home page should mention something along the lines of "free console-less non-development latest version runtime for cost-effective widescale deployment in the enterprise, schools, colleges, server farms, etc." Right now it sounds like the cost would be $100 per PC. Plus, obviously many...

    Declined Option to add tcc to Bash profile

    Option to add this as above in WSL2.

    Done Support ~ and :path in COPY

    This DEFINITELY needs to be posted somewhere on the website, not just buried in a response an unrelated topic!

    Add Custom Message to commands

    A related concern is what happens if the command results in an error? Should the custom message still be displayed?

    Add Custom Message to commands

    Another option might be a RESULT "wrapper" command: RESULT /4="Deleted all empty zcs files" del /[s566,566] zcs_*.txt -or- RESULT /4="Deleted all empty zcs files" [del /[s566,566] zcs_*.txt]

    Add Custom Message to commands

    Option to add a custom message to a command result, possibly with a delay, e.g. del /[s566,566] zcs_*.txt /CM4=Deleted all empty zcs files For 4 seconds that would display the custom message "Deleted all empty zcs files" That would be separate from any message normally displayed. So in the...

    Done Tie-in to Win 10 x64's WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux

    I post these here to follow the progress of Microsoft's integration of Linux. At some point TCC will need to fully and transparently integrate with WSL, but WSL is still too early in the developmental stage. Once Windows developers start routinely accessing Linux routines from within their...

    Setting array variable ignores leading spaces (and @execarray doesn't)

    I haven't tried it, but try enclosing your argument in back quotes, i.e., set a[0]= ` xx`
