Hi,
Initially, I spent lot of my time in trying to figure out how to modify the .cmd to .bat files. But then, I came across this utility "win95cmd.exe" from the site
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/unversioned/consize/ (Also, you can get it from Microsoft's site)
There is no need to do the file conversion (.cmd to .bat). Just downloaded the file win95cmd.exe and when executed, it opens a DOS console for Windows 2000. I can run all my .cmd files from this console. That's it. Very nice.. is'nt it??
Hope this helps.
