thanks for the advice but I still have problems

before running my engine I try to run gerbil

Here is what I did:

I generated a new folder with the name epdanalyze

I put the following 4 files in that folder:
1)EPD2WB.exe
2)GERBIL.exe
3)epd.bat that includes the follwoing line
epd2wb gerbil.exe wacnew.epd 1
(I created a txt file and I put this line in the file and saved it as epd.bat)
4)wacnew.epd

I try to click on epd.bat and I can only see a text that disappears in less than
1 second.

What do I do wrong?
