How to run batch files from bat file?

[brett]

I have two batch files that run fine. I want to create a new batch
file, RunAll.bat, that will run these batches. I put only two lines
in RunAll.bat (just the name of each bat file). When I run RunAll.bat,
only the first batch file runs. Is there a way to get both to run?

Thanks,
Brett

@echo off
%comspec% /c c:\1.bat
%comspec% /c c:\2.bat

This is Windows 98 technology. Under Win2000/XP it
is sufficient to do this:

@echo off
call c:\1.bat
call c:\2.bat

Yes creating a daughter process through the Command Interpreter chaining the batch file is
old but it provides a wider compatibility.

As per using the 'call' statement, it is much more of an eloquent solution for a NT based OS
