Issues fixed

A PRM.PRM file is required for this application

If you get this error after making a choice in the selection menu, uninstall Geomatica as it seems to interfere with batch files.

The scripts don't work on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003

They rely on some commands like bitsadmin, choice, clip, curl and mklink, which are not available by default on these versions of Windows:

• bitsadmin can be obtained by installing the Support Tools for Windows XP, however I couldn't get the command to work (probably due to an outdated/unsupported protocol), so you should install curl instead (see below).
• choice can be obtained from here (under MS-DOS 6.21). If you don't trust downloading programs from unofficial sources, you can also run the reg patch with the -c # (where # is a number) command-line argument, which will bypass the selection menu and execute the corresponding option.
• clip can be obtained from here
• curl v7.80 can be obtained from the Wayback Machine.
• mklink doesn't exist, therefore junction (a tool from Sysinternals) is used instead.

They're also available from the XP folder, for your convenience. Download and place them next to the script (for curl, curl-ca-bundle.crt must be present as well).
