Here’s another user submitted example, this time showing one way of using CmdTwain in a batch file …<\/p>\n

Greg,<\/p>\n

Thank you! This reply was so much better than I could have ever hoped for!<\/p>\n

I’ve written a little batch script to launch CmdTwain in the way I want – had a couple of kinks, and I’m fairly sure there must be better ways of doing some of the things, but I’m quite pleased with the fact that it works! I have included it – you are welcome to use, modify, redistribute, etc. (I hope to see it included with the next release of CMDTwain ;-))<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
