For example, you might find that EditPlus
(

) meets your needs
more effectively than Notepad+ does. Only you can decide when an application meets enough of your
needs and provides enough functionality that any required workarounds are minor.

EDITING AND COMPILING BATCH FILES AND SCRIPTS
Creating Executable Batch Files with Batch File Compiler 5.2
The main reason to use the Batch File Compiler is to create an executable from your batch file??”a
task this utility performs very well. However, this utility does a lot more. The Batch File Compiler
is a shareware product that works with pure batch files, but it can also augment batch files so
that they do more. For example, you can perform math within your batch file when you compile it
using this utility. You can download the Batch File Compiler at

.
The feature I like best about this product is that it??™s very simple. Figure 7.5 shows the interface
for this product. The main window lets you access and edit your batch files. Select an option from
the Extended Commands menu when you want to add more functionality to your batch file.
