NT 14.13 Host exe app issue

[jking]

Hello Bruce,

     I'm having a bit of trouble with the host.exe app (C11.1.13855 and NT 14.13).  I have it loaded into a Compile Manager app created by Handy Tools.  The Compile Manager indicates a build error with the following message:

--------------------------------------
ERROR: Invalid syntax. Default option is not allowed more than '1' time(s).
Type "TIMEOUT /?" for usage.
---------------------------------------

Is there anywhere in the Host EXE, or other NT 14.13 apps, that deals with DOS batch files and uses the "TIMEOUT /?" command? 

Note, the Host EXE does actually get compiled properly, as do all my other NT apps, I have in the Compile Manager.  It's just that the Compile Manager app indicates a failed build when in fact the build did succeed.  Gus at Handy Tools thinks it is due to the Host EXE using a DOS batch file somewhere.  Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Jeff

so, no I don't use TIMEOUT anywhere.

yes, when you do a generate, the templates generate and execute COPYALL.BAT and GZIPALL.BAT.
(Those are DOS batch files).

But the error is very specific - Invalid Syntax.
I guess follow that error a bit more - find out what line causes it and so on.

Cheers
Bruce
