>>It turned out to be a problem with the way DOS interprets the "=" sign in a
batch file. The "=" is dropped…..
Sorry if I'm hopping in on this one a bit late, but I use the
"set=…" statement from batch files all the time to start 3ds in
different display color depths, and it works perfectly. DOS (at least
on our machines) sees the "=" in batch files just fine. I don't have
any suggestions as to why your systems won't accept the commands, but
I'm curious, do your machines see the "path=…" or "set
temp(etc)=…" lines in the autoexec.bat? (which is of course just a
batch file itself)
