If has the extension *.bat is not a text file, it's a batch file with DOS commands

Since my DOS 2.0 times I know this, elementary Watson!

you really don't understand do you?

ok lets go to Microsoft on this one - http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/batch.mspx?mfr=true

to quote :

" A batch file is an unformatted text file that contains one or more commands and has a .bat or .cmd file name extension."

you can't argue that. tho, you will.

I have an honest question. are you just trolling us or do you really believe what you are posting even when evidence is presented that proves you so very wrong, yet you carry on anyway?
