ChooseDir Description

The ChooseDir application was designed to be a small program that provides a visual way to change directories from within a DOS batch file (running under Windows). The batch file calls ChooseDir which presents a directory list box and records the selected folder to a temporary batch file which the original batch file then calls to change the current directory. It should work with all 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows. Usage: start /wait ChooseDir.exe >temp.bat where temp.bat is the temporary batch file to be created. The "start /wait" part is important because it tells the batch file to pause until the new file has been created. ChooseDir returns an exit code of 0 if the user selected a folder and pressed "Ok". On "Cancel" it returns 1 and does not create a file. See test.bat for an example of how to use ChooseDir.
