Re: Contacts & Signatures Won't Stick I can't get Contacts and more than one Signature to stick in WLM 14.0.5027.0908 Beta, using XP SP3. Each time I exit WLM they disappear. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is it a known bug in WLM 14.0.5027.0908 Beta? Does anyone have something smart to say on this problem? -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor

Command .bat files and return code
by Guest Mario - Roma- 1 reply
- 197 views
I need to create a .bat file to performa some tests required by a third party application. The third party application documentation says that "The script must exit with a 0 (zero) value to be considered a success. Any other output results in failure. Upon success, the stdout output of the script will be examined." I made some tests but I prseume I made some mistake. Can anybody please explain how a .bat script must close in order to exit with a 0 or a non 0 value and, maybe. provide some simple sample? Regards Mario
