Route Files.

The .Rot files.

Description on how to use the .Rot files

From TMWDCC ver 1.28, it is possible to let TMWDCC throw a gang of turnouts, to form a train route. This is possible by the use of .rot files.
To inoke a route, you type a "R" and you will be prompted to enter a route name. The route name is the file name less the extension. E.g. the file test.rot is a route named "test".
Hereunder is an example of a .rot file. The .rot file is created in your favorite editor, EDIT or NotePad or whatever you use. The name of the files should be the route name dot rot, e.g. test.rot for a route with the name "test" The file, or script if you like, can use four different commands.
