If the batch file is still functionally equivalent, it would make sense to include it in the distribution. I vaguely recall that I had removed all of the 'smart' stuff from the batch file to please command.com, making it much less functional, but perhaps that is more an indication of how well I know command.com ;-)
As I remember, most, if not all of the smart stuff mentioned has to do with automatic recognition of the install-directory. All this smartness is nice, if things work. In the other cases smartness is a jungle and it would be easier to check a dumb but simple list of set commands. These batch-files for example are not smart enough to recognize if they are running under the right command- prozessor and a normal windows 98 user might be very helpless what had gone wrong.
weren't you the one that said scripting languages were like shooting a cannon? ;-)
But the settings in scite had to be altered too.
Yes (using %COMMSPEC% like you said should work). Taco
