Major rewrite of all core batch files to ensure DOS 6.22 compatibility
and implement automatic update workflow.
Changes:
AUTOEXEC.BAT (82 lines):
- Rewrote with clean, concise annotations
- Fixed 3 NUL device references (changed to *.*)
- Added automatic NWTOC + CTONW calls after network start
- System now fully automatic (no manual intervention needed)
NWTOC.BAT (221 lines):
- Rewrote with clean, concise annotations
- Fixed 9 NUL device references (changed to *.*)
- No functional logic changes, improved clarity
CTONW.BAT (272 lines):
- Rewrote with clean, concise annotations
- Fixed 14 NUL device references (changed to *.*)
- Clarified test data routing (ProdSW vs LOGS)
DEPLOY.BAT (188 lines, was 391):
- Complete simplification per requirements
- Removed network drive verification (runs from network)
- Removed AUTOEXEC backup logic (template approach)
- Template-based AUTOEXEC.BAT installation
- Fixed execution order: copy files FIRST, modify AUTOEXEC SECOND
- Fixed multi-pipe DOS 6.22 issue (line 92) using temp files
- Reduced complexity by 52%
deploy-all-to-ad2.ps1 (new):
- PowerShell script to deploy all files to AD2 via WinRM
- AD2 syncs to NAS automatically
Technical fixes:
- 24 total NUL device references fixed (DOS 6.22 incompatible)
- All files verified with DOS compatibility checker
- All false positives confirmed (REM comments, single-line IFs)
- DEPLOY.BAT multi-pipe chain broken into temp file steps
Deployment:
- All files deployed to AD2:C:\Shares\test\COMMON\ProdSW\
- Files will sync to NAS automatically
Result: Fully automatic update system for ~30 DOS 6.22 machines.
Downloads updates and uploads test data on every boot.
