Hello All,
I'm using the BATCH mode in S+2000 r3 (Win95 & Win2000) to run simulations and
find it rather annoying that the progress thermometer displayed while in BATCH
mode is fixed permanently in the middle of my screen...it can't be minimized or
moved! This isn't a problem when I run things overnight but when I need to do
other tasks that *&@! progress thermometer makes it virtually impossible. Am I
missing something; is there some way to minimize it or at least specify where
it gets displayed on the screen?? Other suggestions are also welcome.
Note that I've tried using BATCH_PROMPTS with some success. I get a (seemingly)
full S+ session displayed which can't be minimized but at least doesn't get
displayed on top of everything else that's open. However, the simulations I'm
running dump information to a text file so I can monitor their progress (more
useful than S+'s thermometer!) and for some reason this text file doesn't get
created or updated when using BATCH_PROMPTS. I've tried all combinations of the
progress:yes,existatus:no with no apparent effect. There's very limited
information in the Programmer's Guide that describes how to use these switches,
so if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ian Jonsen
