RSS Feeds

The RSS feed for the new forum can be found at

https://ss64.org/app.php/feed

I have put a couple of redirects in place so that RSS subscribers to the old forum should still see new posts appearing.

Re: The new forum and the old forum

Good point Joe, the latest version on Wayback is here , that said I am planning to keep the old forum around for as long as possible.

Re: Robocopy to ONLY copy changed files

This is an old thread, but a common reason for robocopy repeatedly copying files on every run is if the source and destination have different filesystems which return the date modified to a slightly greater or lesser accuracy.

Re: How to automate user input/keystroke input when using pause command

Another approach to this is to call the script with: START CMD /k yourscript.cmd That will run the script and the window will remain open for any further input. You don't actually need the START, thats just to open it in a fresh window so it's obvious what's happening, if creating a shortcut, you ca...
