' Short start-up program for EFH ' ' To facilitate faster load times, this short intro program was ' created. Then you can call this program when you load QBasic, ' and you will not have to stare at QB's interface while it loads, ' parses and compiles the program for running. (Small programs are ' obviously ready MUCH quicker). ' ' You can setup EFH to run from a command line (DOS prompt). ' Just create a batch file called say, "EFH.BAT" that looks like: ' ' @ECHO OFF ' CD c:\program\path\here ' QBASIC /RUN EFH ' ' Note: In order for the above to work, you must have your PATH ' environment variable that is in your AUTOEXEC.BAT ' include a pointer to where your copy of QBasic is. ' ' Something like: PATH=C:\DOS;C:\MOUSE;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND ' (Usually you will find Qbasic in DOS) ' ' ' All UnderWARE programs require that they reside in same directorys ' as their data and other files. (Most all programs do actually).
