I was trying to run a application (XFREE) on 2000. It works fine on
98.

Anyway the only problem I have is that a batch (.bat) file is halting
on a partcular command.

If I execute each line in the batch file interactively at the command
prompt then it does not halt on the command.

I have never seen anything like this. I wonder if there is some kind
of default behavior for Windows
2000 batch files that I need to modify.

XFREE works fine if I execute the commands in separate windows. But I
prefer to just have them execute in sequence in a single batch file.

The command it is halting on is:

XWin -ac

Thanks for any help you can give. I am not very experienced with 2000
programming

Unfortunately, supporting the XWindows GUI is way off-topic for this
group.

If you are running Cygwin/X, try their FAQ, User's Guide or mailing lists
for help:
http://x.cygwin.com/
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree

Best of luck.

I don't use 2000 but maybe START does what you want.

For usage type...
start /?
