Solve : Dos equivalent of UNIX "&"?

1.	Solve : Dos equivalent of UNIX "&"?
Answer» Hello, Does anyone know how to run a program from DOS, and then run a second program before the first program finishes? For example, in a UNIX script, I could do: command1 & command2 & and this would EXECUTE command2 before command1 had finished..... Thanks in advance You can use the start command, e.g. Code: [Select]start cmd will start a new MS-DOS shell in a new window and you can continue working in the old shell while the new is still there. A more advanced example would be: Code: [Select]start /min cmd /C "dir /s > dir.log" It's up to you to figure out what HAPPENS CHEERS, [glb]cs[/glb]Thanks a LOT, that works fine...You're welcome
