    Syntax for adding a program to autoexec.bat...

    I tried:

    LH C:\Dev\NetWorker\Stock Market\S.exe

    ...but the "LH" didn't work? Any ideas?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    BTW: I am assuming this is the file used by Windows to load programs on boot?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    LH ius short for LOADHIGH, which can also be used once you've allocated memory using himem.sys in the config.sys file.
    It is even possible to specify the address in to which you want the program loaded (memmaker did this automatically).

    A good number of programs cannot be loaded high however, and so you simply need the command line in the batch file

    c:\progra~1\myfile.exe

    Oh, and it is not used by Windows* (Well, not entrirely true dependent upon your version of Windows). In Windows 3.X or 9X the config.sys and autoexec.bat get called before windows starts. If you want your program to be run in Windows when Windows starts you have several options; win.ini, registry, startup folder. Again dependent upon your version of Windows.

    * Know that's up for debate across different versions, but for the sake of clarity and in an attempt at gauging what the poster wants to know, lets just say that.

    Thank you very much. I can figure the rest, now.

    Cheers mate!
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    LH C:\Dev\NetWorker\Stock Market\S.exe

    In addition, you have a blank in there that normally seperates parameters of LH. You might try

    LH "C:\Dev\NetWorker\Stock Market\S.exe"

    but that's just a guess.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
