I am writing a simple .bat file which is run from
a DOS window to take some arguments, create a PDF
file and then open the resulting pdf file with
Acrobat Reader.
This all works well except that Acrobat Reader ties up
the DOS window. That is, I cannot run any more commands
until Acrobat Reader is closed. If I were doing this in
Unix, I could simply add an "&" at the end of the Acrobat
Reader call, which would open the Acrobat Reader as a
background process, thereby keeping my commandline open.
Does DOS have something similar?
Thanks,
Tony
