How To Subscribe and Unsubscribe is at the end of this note. I have a confession to make. Even in this age of GUIs and visual programming and the Windows Scripting Host, I still use a lot of Batch files. Anything you can type at a command prompt can be placed in a Batch file. This makes the Batch language great for carrying out long sequences of repetitious low-level operations.
Batch files are very primitive.
But Batch files are easy to write and can be quite surprisingly powerful. For simple functions, the WSH is great. For example, if you have the WSH installed, try a quick experiment. Now click on the file's icon. It's that easy to add and run scripts on your Win98 system.
