5. how to use

5.1 Setup

(1) DOS extender version (XBLD)

Copy the DOS extender "DOS4GW.EXE" to the current directory or a directory on your path.

(2) 32-bit version (XBLD32)

Open a Windows95 DOS window and prepare to start XBLD.
(Please note that it does not work in MS-DOS mode)

5.2 How to start

Enter a command in the following format from a DOS prompt: Options must be preceded by a hyphen '-' or a slash '/'.
(If you use the 32-bit version of XBLD, replace XBLD with XBLD32.)

C:> xbld [-option...] [script file name]

The option specifies a subcommand or a subcommand file.
Subcommands are instructions for instructing XBLD operations. (For details, please refer to " 6. Subcommand ")

(1) Command line specification

Subcommands are specified directly on the command line and are interpreted sequentially from the beginning.

C:> xbld - subcommand 1=argument - subcommand 2=argument ... [script file name]

(2) Subcommand file specification

This is a way to specify subcommands in a file instead of on the command line.
A file that describes a group of subcommands is called a "subcommand file."
Subcommand Interprets and executes subcommands line by line from the beginning of the file.

C:> xbld -sub=subcommand file path name [script file name]

In addition, use ";" to write comments in the subcommand file.
The string from ";" to the end of the line is ignored.
