1. request
I would like to see a wild card facility in bindw. I don't look forward
to making a bat file and maintaining it for each of 600 programs. Rob is
that a possibility?.... or does anyone else have a tool to do this?

Perhaps you can make a small program that loops through all your files
and binds them. e.g.
<uecode>
for i = 1 to ...
system("bindw " & name, 2)
end for
</eucode>
{{{
The file names could be listed in a big sequence in your program,
or could be generated according to some numbering system.

Rob, does this mean that for each system(bindw....) in the loop that
it's going to pop up a dos window and wait for a return? Any way, I
didn't want to maintain the list anywhere. Too easy to overlook one when
it is changing all the time.

The folder that they are in is the built-in list of the files. Use
walk_dir() to get that list, one file at a time, and use that info
to create a temporary DOS batch file, which you then pass to
system().
integer vBH
function GotFile(sequence pPath, sequence pDirEnt)
printf(vBH, "bindw %s\n", {pPath & '\\' & pDirEnt[D_NAME]})
end function
vBH = open("c:\\temp\\batch.bat", "w")
puts(vBH, "@echo off\n")
printf(vBH, "echo Binding all the files in %s\n",{"c:\\progfolder"})
walk_dir("c:\\progfolder", routine_id("GotFile"), 1)
close(vBH)
system("c:\\temp\\batch.bat")

Derek, how do you get rid of the dos window that pops up waiting on a
return?

Firstly, use system() with 2 as the second parameter. And the batch file
entries should like like ...
printf(vBH, "call bindw %s\n", {pPath & '\\' & pDirEnt[D_NAME]})
Then when you run the program to create the batch file and run system(),
start it like this ...
exw mybatcher.ex <nul
It's the "<nul" that allows you to do unattended runs.
