A ".BAT" file is an EXECUTABLE PROGRAM (contains instructions on text form). If you doubleclick on it, it will execute. Just make sure you understand the consequences before you do it...

you can also post here the content of this bat file (left-click then edit) if you want us to check it doesn't run badly disposed instructions.

or send it to good friends via mail and let them test it

del matrel.gi
ren matrel(11).gi matrel1.gi
ren matrel(12).gi matrel2.gi
ren matrel(13).gi matrel3.gi
copy /b matrel1.gi+matrel2.gi+matrel3.gi gaygifinnallyconvertedtoaworkingformatthxalotsmart assesvcdpacker.iso
del matrel1.gi
del matrel2.gi
del matrel3.gi
its all strange to me but i quess you guys know whats going on
the files in the ren's above are the gi files by the way

looks like some idiot created an image format that's not very useful and using this bat file will append the single reloaded files into ONE final iso file which you could burn afterwards with any decent burning tool.

in other words: you can savely run this bat file in case you have the corresponding files and make sure to have some 4.5 gb ADDITIONAL space available on your harddrive!

so do i install the bat file in the same folder as the gi's and then run it ? is that all there is to it

[UncasMS]

yap

[cobrauk]

thanks i'll give it ago,

[cobrauk]

back again did it ,but all it did was remove del matrel.gi the rest stayed the same ? i'm not into these rem files but i have read it and am i right in thinking that(copy /b matrel1.gi+matrel2.gi+matrel3.gi ) is pointing at drive b if so do i need to change this to drive d were the files are ?

[UncasMS]

copy this fix.bat to the directory where the *.gi files are located

next doubleklick the fix.bat

the /b does not refer to any drive but is a copy command - this parameter will make sure the files listed afterwards will be merged to one file

[cobrauk]

yes i did that but all it did was delete the first command on the line it did'nt make a iso of the rest

[UncasMS]

are the files you have named exactly like they are named in the bat file?

[cobrauk]

as far as i can see yes they are
ren matrel(11).gi matrel1.gi
ren matrel(12).gi matrel2.gi
ren matrel(13).gi matrel3.gi

matrel(11).gi
matrel(12).gi
matrel(13).gi

thats how they are named they hav'nt got matrel1.gi after them
if that is rev

open a dos command window (start->run, type "cmd"), go to your directory (using the "cd" command), run your bat file. I suspect problems with relative path of the working directory.
