Hello,
Our organization is currently evaluating S+ Ver 3.2 on a
Windows-for-Workgroups v 3.11 platform. We wish to automate our
benchmarking part of the testing as much as possible.
Placing source files for seprate projects in seperate directories, I
have been able to successfully set up icons that BATCH process these
source code files, and cleanly exit after execution is over. (Each
project has its own icon, where working directories can be specified
that save the burden of having to give every input or output file a
complete pathname.)
I would like to be able to go the next logical step and get MS-Windows
to activate these icons one after the other without mouse or keyboard
intervention. That is, have one project's program item icon execute,
finish up completely, then the second project's program icon execute,
finish up, and so on...
Can this be done? If so, how?
(I realize this is essentially an MS-Windows problem query, but being
only a part-time MS-Windows user, I could think of only three places
to start asking for help: S-news, StatSci, and internal computer
support.)
Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
Best Regards,
