China DOS Union

Moderator:

Under DOS 8.0, the higher-version FORMAT.COM gives no information prompts and just runs directly.
I want to add Chinese prompts—how can I do it without errors? Thanks!!!

Why not just use the moderator's DOS7.10!
As for if you insist on localizing it, that's very simple too!
Write a batch file!
@echo off
format %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
if "%1"=="？" @ echo （whatever you want to write）
That'll do!

Hehe... if you say it like that, anyone who can understand it wouldn't even ask you.

So did you understand it or not!

Just take a look at the batch files on my boot disk.

Using DOS 8.0 to make a boot disk really isn't good. We have related discussions in the "DOS Boot Disk" section, and there was already a conclusion long ago.

The super moderator is right!

"If you want to localize it, that's very simple too!
Write a batch file!
@echo off
format %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
if "%1"=="？" @ echo （whatever you want to write）
That'll do!"
For example:
FORMAT A：
if "%1"==A:
echo. Do you really want to format the disk?
echo. All data on the disk will be lost!
echo. Continue?
echo. Press "Y" to format the disk
echo. Press "N" to exit the format command
choice.com
Would this work?

It should work, right!

Still no good
Can you write a batch file?

Why not just use Tianhui's Chinese localization patch for Chinese text!
It's only a bit over 100kB! Doesn't that localize most commands!
If it were me, I'd just localize it directly with edit2!
If you really want it, I'll give it to you next week!

Also, you really are foolish if you write
format %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
You need to rename the original format to something else, like fo
Then the above part should be written as
fo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Otherwise when you type format,
of course it will still execute the original format.com file!
Not the format.bat file!

Also, the " " around A cannot be omitted!

Look:
@echo off
MAT %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
IF "%1"=="A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F" "G" "H" "I" ...
@echo. Do you really want to format the disk?
@echo. All data on the disk will be lost!
@echo. Continue?
@echo. Press “Y” to format the disk
@echo. Press “N” to exit the format command
choice
@if errorlevel 1 if not errorlevel 2 goto gsh
@if errorlevel 2 if not errorlevel 3 goto end

gsh
MAT %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

end
quit

Will this do?

First try it in the Windows XP command prompt interface!
If it doesn't work, then come ask me again!

I tried it under DOS
FORMAT A：
But it didn't show
Do you really want to format the disk?
All data on the disk will be lost!
Continue?
Press “Y” to format the disk
Press “N” to exit the format command
Instead it showed English
Press ENTER to read disk...
When I exited it showed the BAT contents
