Looks like it's something in the last two paragraphs that causes the mailing list server to reject my this message. I will reword it a bit to see if that solves the problem. Begin forwarded message: You can create your frontend directly with the batchfile using choice.exe, or you can write it using any dos compiler or interpreter, or whatever floats your boat. I personally wrote my frontends using the powerbasic compiler because it's easy to make them bulletproof, plus they are prettier than they would be when using choice.exe. Once you have your user's directory structure, batch files, programs and what-have-you laid out, copy the whole thing into /etc/skel and all new users will automatically inherit everything ready-to-roll as you create them. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
