- The program KBFLAG.COM was printed in the Dec 23, 1986 issue of PC Magazine and
- is a very useful little utility that dynamically modifies the performance of an
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file at boot time.
-
- Here's how it works:
- Include the statements in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- KBFLAG
- IF ERRORLEVEL 128 GOTO :END
-
- Now if you press the INS key during the BOOT, it will cause ERRORLEVEL to be
- set to 128 and the above statement will cause a branch to :END
-
- A handy use for this is when you need extra memory to run a large program and
- you can't afford the space normally devoted to your usual gaggle of TSR's.
- Branching to :END can skip the normal BOOT time execution of your memory
- resident programs as an alternative to booting from a DOS diskette in A:
