UTIL DEC90 BATCH FILE COMPILER SPEED SECURITY ASP

Update

PowerBatch gives  you  the capability to create batch command
files which  are  compiled  to  .EXE  modules  providing  the
ultimate in speed and security for a batch command file.

PowerBatch provides  all  the functionality of standard batch
files plus adding over 40 additional functions to  give  your
batch  file  the  look  of a custom developed program.  Query
your system for: current color settings,  current  directory,
date,  time,  drive  existance,  directory  existance,  drive
capacity, drive free space, and environment values.   Blazing
fast  screen  writes  with  direct  cursor positioning, color
control and automatic text centering.   Retrieve  input  from
the  keyboard  controlling  upper  or  lower  case,  a single
character or a  string  of  predefined  length.   Draw  boxes
(frames)  with  a  single command with color control over the
frame and interior of the box.

PowerBatch allows  you  to  create  an  unlimited  number  of
variables  of  your  choice.  Manipulate these variables with
string handling commands or arithmetic and use the  variables
as  parameters  of  other  PowerBatch  commands  or  even DOS
utilities  imbedded  in  your  PowerBatch  source.    Compare
variables and branch to another section of your program based
on the results of your compare.

Any executable  module  may  be  included  in your PowerBatch
source including other PowerBatch compiled modules, .EXE and
.COM modules, and .BAT files.

Access up  to  16  command line parameters, monitor DOS error
codes and ErrorLevel codes.

Security is a strong point with PowerBatch.  You  can  create
batch command programs which cannot be terminated by pressing
any  break  key  combinations.   You may even protect certain
areas of your program by turning the break capability on  and
off within your PowerBatch program.

Extensive documentation and sample PowerBatch source programs
included.
