BatLite compiles a .BAT file into a .COM
file.  The .COM file loads and  runs quickly,
and has other advantages over a normal .BAT
file:
- Repetitive texts  are compressed.   For big
  batch files the savings can reach 50% or
  more.
- BatLite compiles  GOTOs into  direct jumps.
  This  is quite a  bit faster than DOS's
  method of searching the batch file line by
  line starting at the beginning.
- The compiled  batch file  is tamper-proof.
  It resists casual examination  and cannot
  be changed without the original source.
- The compiled  batch file  runs  entirely
  from  memory.

CDD! 1.1 - an improved Change Directory
command that sets the errorlevel.

The CD command that comes with MS or PC
DOS has four flaws:

1.  It does not set the ERRORLEVEL for
    Invalid directories.

2.  It fails when there is a trailing
    backslash on the name.

3.  You cannot hide its error messages
    with >NUL: redirection.

4.  It will not change the drive for
    you, just the directory.

CDD! acts just like CD except that it
fixes these four problems.  CDD! is
slower since it is must be loaded each
