Introduction 
~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
    I just finished reading a .tlg. text by Dark Raven about the usefulness 
of batch programming in creating ba-ba-bombs and virii.  It was a cool file, 
but I felt he left out some important things, so I'm writing this file as an 
extension on the same topic.  Hope ya don't mind, dude. 
                                     úùú 
    Lemme tell ya a little about my batch programming experience.  My first 
PC (yea, I used to use an Apple IIGS) was an ancient IBM PCjr I found at my 
grandfather's.  Well, what the hell can you do with one?  I decided to learn 
some batch programming.  It's some of the most useful computer stuff I ever 
learned, and if you're a SysOp, it's something yout just gotsta know. 
                                     úùú 
    Back on topic ... I easily learned how batch files could be really 
dangerous (hey, why else would we be talking about them?), so now, whenever 
I see one I know I'm gonna need to run, I first pop into Edit or whatever 
and look through it to make sure there aren't any nasties hiding in there 
waiting for the first dumbass to go and run them.  But I'm, as responsible 
members of the cyber elite, you all do this too so yous won't get fucked bad, 
right? 
                                     úùú 
    So, ya see, if you're gonna try and screw a SysOp over, it's going to 
take more than just a batch, because the can view it, right?  Well, I have a 
solution: get a batch file compiler.  I saved you the trouble and included 
one in this zip called TurboBAT.  What is does is looks at your batch file 
and generates an .Com executable.  I hope you see where I'm going with this. 
Once you compiler it into an .Com, the end-loser won't be able to view the 
code w/o disassembling the thing, and no one bothers doin that everytime they 
want to run an .Com! 

Instructions 
~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
    I included a batch file in this zip called Compile.Bat.  It will take 
care of all the commandline stuff with TurboBAT, just make sure that they're 
in the same directory.  Execute it with Compile {Filename.Bat} and it will 
compile it into an .Com which you can distribute wherever. 
                                     úùú 
    Because it's a lame piece of PD software, TurboBAT adds an unreg'd 
message to the beginning of the .Com, which would tip off anyone that there 
is a foot aplot, so just hexedit the message out with BEdit, also included. 

Hints 
~~~~~ 
  ù Name your final .Com something like Install.Com, Upgrade.Com, or 
    Tlg_App.Com.  I'm so sure some dude is going to run an .Com like 
    Destroy.Com or Bomb.Com.  And avoid things like RunMe1st.Com.  I 
    never run them, but it works on some people. 
  ù Use some Echos in your batch file to tell the user that it's going to do 
    something normal, something unsuspicious, so the user won't suspect 
    anything. 
  ù TurboBAT adds some extensions to the Dos batch language that can only be 
    used if compiled with TurboBAT.  A useful command is BOOT WARM [or] COLD. 
    I suggest using COLD because it'll work better under a multitasker. 
    Here's some other useful ones ... 

            BEEP frequency duration 
            DELAY seconds 
            COLOR [BRIGHT] [BLINK] fgcolor ON bgcolor 

Conclusion 
~~~~~~~~~~ 
    Um, have fun, and let me know if you have any troubles. 
    Thanks to Dark Raven for the original idea.
