[DLC] Part Time Coding

[Larry Garfield]

I think WinBatch was 3rd party, actually.  Microsoft's .bat replacement was 
Windows Scripting Host, which in theory supported multiple scripting 
languages but in practice was mostly JScript (Microsoft's "embraced and 
extended" Javascript, circa 1998).  I don't recall WSH ever going anywhere 
because, like anything MS developed in the past decade, it was quickly taken 
over by spammers and trojans and virus writers and other lower life forms 
because it was badly implemented.  

I never got into WSH, although back in the day I was a batch file fiend. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
