EX14 - Enhanced Batch Command Processor
EX14 is a public domain replacement for the DR SUBMIT and XSUB batch processors, which
provides many useful enhancements. For the most part EX14 works in the same manner as
SUBMIT and XSUB, and can be used as a substitute for them. However, EX14 also allows the
following character sequences to be used:
^ followed by any character will give the corresponding control character. For example, " C" will
cause a Control-C to be substituted when the command is executed.
| will cause a carriage return to be substituted when the command is executed. This is useful if
you are auto-executing a program which requires RETURNs entered to accept default values,
et c.
^| will cause a carriage return/line feed to be substituted when the command is executed.
^: will cause the entire SUB file to be re-executed from the beginning. I don't know why
you'd want to do this, but you can.
^? will cause EX14 to pause until a RETURN is entered. A control-C at this point will abort
EX14. This is handy if you want to go away for part of the execution, but don't want to miss
another part.
^$ will cause the remainder of the line to be treated as a set of default parameters to be
used in the case where the user did not enter any parameters on the command line. N ote that
these are used in the order in which they are required. If three parameters are required, and
only two are given on the command line, the third will be supplied from the FIRST default, NOT the
third.
^# will toggle the EX14 messages ("EX14 Active", etc.) on and off. These messages can be
