It was a cool file, but I felt he left out some important things, so I'm writing this file as an extension on the same topic. Hope ya don't mind, dude. úùú Lemme tell ya a little about my batch programming experience. My first PC (yea, I used to use an Apple IIGS) was an ancient IBM PCjr I found at my grandfather's. Well, what the hell can you do with one? I decided to learn some batch programming. It's some of the most useful computer stuff I ever learned, and if you're a SysOp, it's something yout just gotsta know. úùú Back on topic ... I easily learned how batch files could be really dangerous (hey, why else would we be talking about them?), so now, whenever I see one I know I'm gonna need to run, I first pop into Edit or whatever and look through it to make sure there aren't any nasties hiding in there waiting for the first dumbass to go and run them. But I'm, as responsible members of the cyber elite, you all do this too so yous won't get fucked bad, right? úùú So, ya see, if you're gonna try and screw a SysOp over, it's going to take more than just a batch, because the can view it, right? Well, I have a solution: get a batch file compiler. I saved you the trouble and included one in this zip called TurboBAT. What is does is looks at your batch file and generates an .Com executable. I hope you see where I'm going with this. Once you compiler it into an .Com, the end-loser won't be able to view the code w/o disassembling the thing, and no one bothers doin that everytime they want to run an .Com! Instructions ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I included a batch file in this zip called Compile.Bat. It will take care of all the commandline stuff with TurboBAT, just make sure that they're in the same directory. Execute it with Compile {Filename.Bat} and it will compile it into an .Com which you can distribute wherever. úùú Because it's a lame piece of PD software, TurboBAT adds an unreg'd message to the beginning of the .Com, which would tip off anyone that there is a foot aplot, so just hexedit the message out with BEdit, also included. Hints ~~~~~ ù Name your final .Com something like Install.Com, Upgrade.Com, or Tlg_App.Com. I'm so sure some dude is going to run an .Com like Destroy.Com or Bomb.Com. And avoid things like RunMe1st.Com. I never run them, but it works on some people. ù Use some Echos in your batch file to tell the user that it's going to do something normal, something unsuspicious, so the user won't suspect anything. ù TurboBAT adds some extensions to the Dos batch language that can only be used if compiled with TurboBAT. A useful command is BOOT WARM [or] COLD. I suggest using COLD because it'll work better under a multitasker. Here's some other useful ones ...

Thanks to Dark Raven for the original idea. úùcopyright july nineteen nighty-six by yankee of the lone gunmenùú SAUCE00Compiled Batch Bombs Yankee ThE Lone Gunmen[TlG]19960730ŸPb
