Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that FOR and %0 are not implemented in the vDOS command line interpreter. I have a number of recursive batch files that reply on these elements to process multiple files using a 16-bit utility. I realize I could probably do this by loading 4DOS, but it would be much easier to do it directly in vDOS.
For example, I often do something like this:
@echo off
if not (%1)==() goto doit
for %%a in (*.db) do call %0 %%a
goto end
:doit
echo Processing %1
(code to process file)
:end
In my immediate situation I'm using the batch file to run the Paradox table verification utility, which must be run under vDOS.
