  • Environment variables

    From Martin Foster@2:240/2188.31 to All on Friday, March 16, 2018 10:55:00
    Greetings All!

    I can't find any mention anywhere about binkD environment variables,
    so my question is this .....

    Does binkD support an environment variable which points to the binkD
    config file?

    Regards,
    Martin

    Well, binkd by default not, but your shell should.

    Following example works for os/2 cmd.exe:


    =##= Anfang "test.cmd" =##=

    setlocal

    set binkdcfg=e:\dbahn\tool\binkd\test.cfg
    binkd2e.exe -Cc %binkdcfg%

    endlocal

    =##= Ende "test.cmd" =##=

    Martin

    Yes, of course, and why didn't I think of that :)

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
