Batch Compiler

Batch Compiler can be of help in the final stage of application development, namely creating the standalone executable file that can be deployed to final users. As you might figure out from its name, the program is intended for scripting and converting batch files (BAT and CMD format) to EXE files.

The intuitive script editor comes with a set of standard tools meant to assist you in writing yoiur scripts. It features basic editing options, as well as predefined commands that can easily be inserted into the code, such as 'Attrib', call external batch program, 'chdir' (changes the directory path), color, copy, delete (files or directories), echo, find and go to functions, pause execution.

All the commands are available within the main GUI and selecting one opens a window where you can select the configuration options or access usage assistance. This latter section reveals the purpose of the command, alongside its syntax and other characteristics you should know before using it.

Before proceeding to compiling the code, you can use the integrated debugger to run the script and identify errors within the code, related to the syntax or the execution mode.

The built-in compiler helps you transform the command sequence into an executable file that can be run on any computer. During this process, you can customize the output file by assigning it a locally stored icon file, entering the copyright details, the company name and the script version. Also, you can type in a brief description, select the working directory, configure the file access policy or add it embedded files (resources that the script requires in order to be executed). Hidden executables can also be created.

Batch Compiler is intuitive enough to be used by beginner programmers, but its feature set can also meet the requirements of demanding users. It enables you to write scripts and quickly generate deployable binaries, with customizable metadata information.
