I emailed you a win2k dos tutorial. I understand it may be too long and shouldnt be on the site, but could you confirm you got it?

As mentioned in the email, i dont want money.

I would like a confirmation on you getting atleast, dunno if it got blocked and you never got it...or whatever else.

When did you send it?  Might have missed it, I get tons of spam each day and have to do a lot of mass deletes.

Yep, i understand that 100%.

I'll send it again, it will be named
2kdos_tut

it will be from
picklesyehEmail Removed

again, i dont want any money at all even if you decide it's usable to some.

It's semi long i guess, although it very short and could break some people into scripting. Atleast on 2k. it only covers 2k because 9x is too limited and xp is almost the same thing.

Im going to start working on a simple on in BASH that covers all the points of this 2k one with more demostrations.

this is taken from that tut i put together

Here are the points that will be covered

00. What a file is under win enviroment.
01. What a variable is in %win2k% batch and how to create them.
02. What echo echo. @echo off does.
03. What operators like > and >> and | do.
04. What a ::comment is.
05. What & does and how to use it &::creatively.
06. What 'DIR' and 'SORT' is and does
07. What a * and a ? mean to the DOS shell.
08. What GOTO _is when used with :_labels, also using PING to create a delay.
09. What if "statements"=="are and what they do".
10. What a basic "for" loop is/does.
11. How to use low interger values with variables.
12. How to parse strings into substrings.
13. How to echo non-echoable characters.
14. How to pass %arguments to a .bat file.
15. Summary

Ok, if you do decide to use that, let me know because i found 1 error in 1 example so far.

10.htm
error is...

SET suffix=%::

Should actually be

SET suffix=&::

I emailed it to your yahoo like 3 days ago...did you get it?

Finally did.  Showed up in my yahoo box first, then in my regular box later.  Odd.  Haven't had time to look at it yet, but I'm sure I'll be able to use it, thanks!

if you can use it, use the one from yahoo, the one i sent like 3 days ago. I fixed some typo's and covered like 3 or 4 more things i wanted to cover but couldnt find time to in time of writing. I add those several more things right before i emailed it to you @yahoo. Only thing i forgot to add to the yahoo one, was mentioning i wrote it for this site. I wanted to put something like 'Constructed for www.thetechguide.com' or something like that in the header of the pages.

What other kinds of tut's/how-to's or whatever are you looking for? Actually i should say what would you like to see?
