ABSTRACT:
A process for executing batch files and application programs by storing the batch files and information about the application programs together as modules inside a parent file, such that each module may be extracted from the parent and executed independently of any other module according to its type. Access to the module is through a menu which provides for each module the name of the module and optionally a phrase descriptive of the module. Batch modules may be relocated to RAM disks for faster execution. When running a batch module, the process of this invention cedes all its memory to the batch module. Program information modules are checked to determine if they provide a program specification or a path specification: if program specification, the program is executed; if path specification, executable files from the specified directory are retrieved and displayed for execution as desired.
