Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: FOR-113
    Summary: Use on Windows 98
       Type: Bug

     Status: Assigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Forrest
  Component: shbat distribution - Forrest CLI
   Versions:
             0.6

   Assignee: Dave Brondsema
   Reporter: Pierrick Brihaye

    Created: Mon, 9 Feb 2004 11:25 PM
    Updated: Mon, 23 Feb 2004 5:20 AM
Environment: Windows 98 / JDK 1.4.1

Description:
There are a lot of NT specifics in Forrest batch files (@setlocal, %~dp0...) that prevent them to be run on Windows 98.

It would be nice to have this compatibility :-)

The most difficult part may be to emulate the setpwdvar.bat for NT. Here is a code snippet that does the trick :

@echo off
echo @prompt set PWD=$p$_ > _temp_A.bat
%comspec% /e:2048 /c _temp_A.bat > _temp_B.bat
call _temp_B.bat
del _temp_?.bat

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

p.b.
