A simple method is to use an errorlevel and a batch file.
For example, put "end 1" in your PB program if you don't want to run the other executable. Put "end 0" in your PB program where you do want to run the other executable.
Then make a batch file that looks like this:
pbprogram.exe
if errorlevel 1 goto quit
otherprogram.exe
:quit
That's all there is to it.

Pb exe & non-Pb exe files
File 1: PB 3.5 exe file, runs just fine.
File 2: An exe file(not generated by Pb) prints to a Win printer.
Works just fine too. Output to a Win display is just
what I've been looking for to avoid parallel DOS printer.
Working together is not going well.
File 1 executes and sometimes just terminates without needing
to use File 2. However, sometimes when needed it
runs File 2 for output to a Win printer.
A. Used 'RUN', 'SHELL' in File #1, Pb does not like this
B. Wrote a bat file with File 1 and File 2, works fine if running
File 2 is requested. But, if File 2 is not requested it
excutes anyway.
How do I run File 1 followed by File 2 when requested?
How do I run File 1 and just terminate when requested?
A gentle push in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jack
