  2.  *         batcher.c - AmigaDos batch file processor            *
  3.  *                                                              *
  4.  *   Copyright(C) 1986, W. Wesley Howe - All Rights Reserved    *
  5.  *      A limited Right of Non-Commercial copying & use         *
  6.  *      is granted, provided this notice is also copied.        *
  7.  *      No warranties are expressed on the suitability          *
  8.  *     of this program for any use is conveyed or implied.      *
  9.  *                                                              *
  10.  * Purpose:  To allow usage of batch files without having to    *
  11.  *           use the Execute command. Primarily for those who   *
  12.  *           want to make system usage easy for the less        *
  13.  *           literate, and those of us that are plain lazy.     *
  14.  *                                                              *
  15.  * Usage:    Rename your AmigaDos batch file to end with ".bat" *
  16.  *           (must not contain any spaces in filename), then    *
  17.  *           rename the compiled version of this program to the *
  18.  *           old name of the batch file.                        *
  19.  *                                                              *
  20.  * Compile:  Compile with Lattice "C" V.3.03. Use -v -s options *
  21.  *           on lc2 for a small (2320 byte) executable file     *
  22.  *           (link as normal with Alink). Normal with Alink     *
  23.  *           means it takes longer to link this than to compile *
  24.  *           the whole thing.                                   *
  25.  *                                                              *
  26.  * Warnings: All of the normal support of AmigaDos is missing   *
  27.  *           from this program (No stdin, stdout, etc.) These   *
  28.  *           facilities are restored when the program calls     *
  29.  *           Execute(). Program has not been tested from the    *
  30.  *           Workbench (I never use it.)                        *
