Hi Eugene,
(Friday April 24 1998 13:45) Eugene S Elizarov to Ted Menks about: EXECUTION 
PREFERENCE
 TM>> If Eugene was right, the order of execution would have been: BAT, BTM,
 TM>> COM, EXE
 ESE>  Sorry, but my information 'bout %subj was too old :( It seems it was
 ESE> right for old versions of DOS (3.+..4.01)
Was BAT run before COM and EXE with those old versions? Weird! :)
 ESE> Now I got the series of tests : in my dirctory it were 4 files
 ESE> 1.btm, 1.bat, 1.exe and 1.com. At the DOS prompt I said "1" and saw
 ESE> the screen answers. Then delete "runned" (am I right?) file and type
 ESE> "1" again... Tests were made under 4DOS in "pure" PCDOS 7.0, W95's
 ESE> (OSR2) dos box and OS/2's (WARP 4) dos box. (Now I haven't older DOS
 ESE> versions %)        No difference!
So, that means all systems use the same order. Good! That's how it should be. 
:)
 TM>> I would like the following order: BTM, BAT, COM, EXE ;-)
 ESE>         Real order now is COM, EXE, BTM, BAT.
Yeah, I know. I'm glad we all have the same info now . But it would 
have been much nicer if BTM and BAT were run first... ;-)
Keep it up,
