   WELCOME TO WINBATCH 2018a!



   WinBatch is the Windows Batch Language that you can use to write
   real honest-to-goodness Windows batch files to control every
   aspect of your machine's operation.  There are more than hundreds
   and hundreds of different functions that allow you to do *anything* 
   with WinBatch!                 

   This package contains all the pieces you need to create batch files
   for Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/7/8/8.1/10/2008/2012/2016.  

   The pieces are:

   WinBatch Interpreter      32-bit & 64-bit versions
   FileMenu                  32-bit or 64-bit version  
   PopMenu                   32-bit version
   WinBatch Studio           32-bit (32-bit & 64-bit debuggers)
   WIL Dialog Editor         32-bit

   This software package -- if you have the WinBatch+Compiler -- 
   also contains:

   WinBatch Compiler         32-bit & 64-bit versions

***    Beginning with the 2004B version we introduced a number of         ***
***    enhancements to WinBatch revolving around OLE/COM automation       ***
***    and the ability to handle a richer set of variables, rather        ***
***    than the older WinBatch standard of integers, strings and          ***
***    floating point numbers.  In order to this to function, we had      ***
***    to make some obscure changes to some rarely used functions.        ***
***    Most WinBatch programmers are not even aware of these functions,   ***
***    much less even having used them.  Thus most scripts in existence   ***
***    will not need to be modified due to the changes introduced         ***
***    between the 2004A and 2004B versions.                              ***

***    1) The VarType() function modified.  With the addition of          ***
***    new variable types called "Variants", a new return code was        ***
***    added to the VarType() function and most returns from any          ***
***    OLE/COM function is now a Variant.                                 ***
***                                                                       ***
***    If you were using the VarType() function to determine a            ***
***    variable type returned my a COM/OLE function, you may need         ***
***    to revise your code.                                               ***

***    2) The ObjectTypeGet() function has been modified to return        ***
***    a richer set of object types, including arrays.  WinBatch          ***
***    code that uses the ObjectTypeGet function may need to be           ***
***    examined.                                                          ***
***                                                                       ***
***    3) The handling of array data returned by COM/OLE functions        ***
***    has been modified to include native WinBatch support for           ***
***    COM/OLE arrays.  WinBatch code dealing with array data             ***
***    returned from COM/OLE functions may need to be examined to         ***
***    ensure compatibility.                                              ***
***                                                                       ***
***    4) Due to incompatibility reasons certain older extenders          ***
***    have been deemed "incompatible" with WinBatch.  Two of these       ***
***    extenders are old and not expected to be in widespread use.        ***
***    However one extender is current and may cause issues.  The         ***
***    "AddExtender" function will recognise these incompatible           ***
***    and flag an error.  The extenders are:                             ***
***                                                                       ***
***       wwwnt32i.dll   old  - all versions incompatible                 ***
***       wwctl32i.dll   old  - all versions incompatible                 ***
***       wwctl34i.dll   current -  20032 and older incompatible          ***
***                      Recommend using wwctl44i.dll instead             ***
***                                                                       ***
***    5) IntControl(83,...) is now obsolete. This intcontrol was used    ***
***    to specify the desired return type of various byte arrays from     ***
***    a COM/OLE function call.  Conversion is now either automatic or    ***
***    is accomplished by the BinaryAllocArray() function.                ***
***                                                                       ***

***    6) The WMI_SCRIPTER program that was being discributed via         ***
***    the Tech Support Database was affected by the "breaking            ***
***    change" mentioned in item #1 above.  A new revised version of      ***
***    WMI_Scripter is now available.                                     ***

***     Problems generally occur in scripts that used the two character   ***

***     that an @CR was used as a delimiter and the @LF was ignored.      ***
***     This caused hard to find script bugs.  Now the single character   ***
***     delimiter rule is enforced.  Many scripts can be fixed by merely  ***
***     changing the @CRLF to an @CR.                                     ***

***  2) In ItemCount, trailing delimiters are now significant.            ***
***     This means that the comma-delimited list "a,b,c," has 4 items     ***

***  3) In ItemInsert, trailing delimiters are now significant.  This     ***
***     means that if you specify a blank item ("") and an offset of -1,  ***
***     a blank item will be added to the end of the list, even if the    ***
***     list already has a trailing delimiter.                            ***

***  5) FileExist now returns @FALSE if the file name contains            ***
***     any '/' characters (this change was actually made in WB 99M).     ***

***  2)  Several functions that return a delimited list no longer         ***
***      return a trailing delimiter, standardizing the structure         ***

   Improvements from previous versions

   The file "The list of Fixes and Improvements.txt" details the 
   many bug fixes and enhancements that have been made to the 
   program since many previous releases.





   About the WinBatch Compiler

   With the WinBatch+Compiler, you can turn your WBT files into 
   standalone EXE files that you can distribute on a royalty-free 
   basis.

   Have a BIG network?  Want all your users to run your WBT files?
   Compile the WBT files with the WinBatch Compiler and put the
   EXEs up on the server.

   Making specialized WinBatch files for clients?  Don't want them
   modifying your files?  Just compile the WBT files, and give the
   EXEs to your client.

   Are you the "corporate guru"?  Get a compiler.  Compile those WBT
   files and hand them out like candy.

   The WinBatch Compiler product includes a copy of WinBatch.





   HOW TO INSTALL WINBATCH


   Use our SETUP.EXE program, which will copy the files for you
   and install a WINBATCH Start Menu or Program Manager group.

   To use our SETUP.EXE program...  


     1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.

     2) Double-Click on the SETUP.EXE program

     3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify initial
        directory, or accept the given default.


   NOTE:  If you are updating from a previous version, and made any of the
          WinBatch files READ-ONLY, remove the read-only attribute from
          the files before running setup.
          (Or else the setup process may hang)



   WinBatch can run in English, French, German, and "Val Speak".
   The strings are controlled by the WWWDLANG.* files. If you
   just launch WinBatch by itself, it will then automatically
   run the "default.wbt" file.  The default.wbt file has a number
   of buttons allowing you to perform various operations. Select
   the "Advanced Options" button,  A new small dialog should appear.
   Select the "Foreign Language Support" button to select a
   language.  If a particular string has not yet been translated
   to the selected language (and there always are some) it will
   appear in English.



   An order form may be found in the WinBatch help file.  
   Once you are viewing the order form, you can then select
   the Print button to obtain a hard copy.

                   REGISTRATION REMINDERS

 Unlicensed copies of Island Lake Consulting products are 100% 
 fully functional.  We make them this way so that you can have a 
 real look at them, and then decide whether they fit your needs 
 or not.  Our entire business depends on your honesty.  If you 
 use it, we expect you to pay for it.  We feel that if we treat 
 you well, you will treat us well.  Unlicensed copies of our 
 products do have a registration reminder screen that appears
 whenever you start the program.  This shouldn't really affect
 your evaluation of our software.

 We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our 
 software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone,
 call the nice people at our 800 number and register the
 software. 

 If you work for a large corporation, you can purchase most of
 our products the same way you buy your retail software.  Just
 send the purchase request up the line.  Most all the corporate
 software suppliers purchase considerable volumes from us on a 
 regular basis.

 When you pay for the software you like, you are voting with
 your pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the
 same kinds of products.  Pay for what you like, and then, more
 of what you like will almost magically become available.


                        LEGAL MATTERS

 Of course the usual disclaimers still apply.  We are not 
 responsible for anything at all.  Nothing.  Even if we are held
 responsible, the limit of our liability is the licensing fees
 you paid.  The full text of our license agreement is found near

  Use our snazzy setup program...

        1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.  
           (You do have to be in Windows to run SETUP.EXE)

        2) Double-Click on the SETUP.EXE or use the Software
           install facility (if available) in Control Panel.

        3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify
           an initial directory, or accept the given default.      

        4) When the screen comes up that asks you what you want
           to install, do your selections, then hit the NEXT 
           button to continue. If you want to install Network 
           extenders or non-English language support, this is 
           your opportunity.


 





                    UN-INSTALL INFORMATION

 This software may be uninstalled via the uninstall option
 in the Control Panel Add/Remove software dialog, or by running
 the uninstal.exe program in the WinBatch/System subdirectory.  If 
 you simply delete all the files first, you will not be able to
 run the uninstall program and there may still be traces of the
 program in various places on the system.


















                        UPDATE POLICY



The end of  maintenance subscriptions
-------------------------------------

Beginning in July 2017 versions of our products, Island Lake Consulting
is no longer offering maintenance subscriptions.  Instead we offer
one year of free downloads with you license purchase.


How does it work?
-----------------

When you purchase a new copy of one of our products, your purchase price
will include one-year of free updates.  During that year, you will be 
entitled to download and use any new versions of that product which are 
released, free of charge.  At the end of the year, you will have the
option to purhcase a new version with free updates for  an additional 
year.  If you choose not to purchase a new version, you will be able to 
continue to use the versions which were released prior to the date your
license expiry, but you will not be licensed to use future versions of 
the product.


Will the software I buy stop working after the year is up?
----------------------------------------------------------

NO!!!  The licensing period is based on the date that the software was
released, not on the current calendar date.  If you buy a product on Jan. 1,
2018, you will be licensed to use any versions of that product which are
released in 2018.  If you choose not to renew your license, you won't be 
licensed to use new versions which are released after that.  But you will be 
licensed to use the 2018 versions forever.


What about existing customers?
------------------------------

If you purchased one of our products in 2001, you have a maintenance
subscription for that product which expired at the end of Feb. 2003.

If you purchased one of our products in 2002, you have a maintenance
subscription for that product which expired at the end of Jan. 2004.

If you purchased an older version of one of our products and your
maintenace or update period has expired, you will need to purchase 
the current version of the product to download it.


What day does my free update period expire?
-------------------------------------------------

The free update period always expire on the last day of the specified
month.  If you purchase a new product in Jan. 2018, your update period
for that product will expire at the end of Feb. 2019.  


What happens when I purchase a new version?
------------------------------------------------------

When you purchase a new version, you will receive a new license code 
which will allow you to download and use an additional year's worth of
releases.  


Do I have to wait until the expiration date to purchase a new license?
---------------------------------------------------------------

We recommend that you wait until your license period enters the one
month grace period to purchase a new license.


What if I want to purchas a new license after it has expired?
-------------------------------------------------------------

You are not penalized for allowing your license to expire.  However,
we do recommend that you keep your license current so that you have
immediate access to fixes and improvements as soon as they become
available.

                       – IMPORTANT –
           READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE.
   
   By installing or using any portion of the WinBatch®, 
   WinBatch®+Compiler, or WebBatch® Software (the “Software”), you 
   accept all of the following terms and conditions of this 
   End-User License Agreement and Limited Warranty 
   (the “License Agreement”).
                  
                     LEGAL EFFECTIVENESS
   
   THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN ISLAND LAKE CONSULTING LLC, 
   DOING BUSINESS AS WINBATCH, THE COPYRIGHT OWNER OF WINBATCH®,
   WINBATCH®+COMPILER, AND WEBBATCH® (“We”) AND THE PURCHASER OF A
   LICENSE TO THE SOFTWARE AND/OR END USER OF THE SOFTWARE (“You”).
   CAREFULLY READ THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT BEFORE INSTALLING, USING, 
   OR OPENING A PACKAGED COPY OF THE SOFTWARE. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY
   PURCHASE ORDER OR SELL YOU A LICENSE TO INSTALL AND USE THE 
   SOFTWARE UNLESS YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE
   AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT OPEN, 
   INSTALL, OR USE THE SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER OR OPEN A PACKAGED 
   COPY. REMOVE ANY AND ALL COPIES OF THE SOFTWARE FROM YOUR COMPUTER 
   AND RETURN THE SOFTWARE AND ANY ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS WITHIN 
   THIRTY (30) DAYS OF PURCHASE, WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE, FOR A FULL 
   REFUND OF THE AMOUNT YOU ORIGINALLY PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.

                       SOFTWARE LICENSE
   This License Agreement grants you a license to the Software. You 
   are a licensee and not an owner of copies of the Software. This 
   License Agreement, as well as copyright and other intellectual 
   property laws and international treaties protect this Software, and 
   set forth your specific rights to use the Software. The provisions 
   of this License Agreement are conditions of your license. If you
   materially violate a condition, then your use of the Software is 
   without authority and may therefore make you liable for infringing 
   our copyright in the Software.
   Upon payment of the single copy license fee, we grant you the right
   to install the Software on a single computer.

   You may make a single additional copy of the Software for backup or 
   archival purposes. If you receive a copy of the Software 
   electronically and on disk, you may use the disk copy for archival
   purposes only. Copyright law prohibits you from making any other 
   copy of the Software and user manual without our permission.

   Your license to the Software is perpetual as long as you observe 
   the conditions of this License Agreement.

   If you have licensed the WinBatch+Compiler product you may compile 
   scripts that you author and, with the exception of scripts that 
   interpret or attempt to interpret the script language, provide 
   these compiled scripts (and any required DLLs) to any number of 
   end users without additional licenses or payment of additional 
   fees. You may not use the Software, however, to provide 
   script-compiling services for others, whether inside or outside 
   your organization. A license to use the Software is necessary to 
   utilize the Software’s script-compiling functionality.  
   
   You may not alter, modify, or adapt the Software or user manual, 
   or create any derivative works based on them. We distribute the 
   Software in computer executable form only, and do not allow user 
   access to the underlying source code and data. You may not reverse 
   engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software to gain access to 
   such code and data, except to the extent applicable law expressly 
   permits such activity. Decompiling or disassembling the Software 
   may also violate the Software’s copyright.

   You may not sublicense, sell, rent, lend, lease, sublicense, or 
   give away the Software to others. You may, however, transfer the 
   Software, written materials, and this License Agreement as a 
   package if the other party registers with us and agrees to accept 
   this License Agreement. You may not retain any copies of the 
   Software yourself once you have transferred it. Any unauthorized 
   copying, distribution, or modification of the Software will 
   automatically cancel your license to use the Software and violate 
   the Software’s copyright.

                   LIMITED WARRANTY AND REMEDIES
   We warrant that the Software will perform in substantial 
   compliance with the specifications set forth in the user manual 
   provided with the Software, provided that it is not modified and 
   it is used on computer hardware and with an operating system for 
   which it was designed. We also warrant that any disk media and 
   printed user manuals we supply are free from defects in materials 
   and workmanship under normal use.

   These warranties are limited to the 90-day period from your 
   original purchase of a license to the Software. If you report in 
   writing within 90 days of purchase a substantial defect in the 
   Software’s performance, we will attempt to correct it or, at our 
   option, authorize a refund of the amount you originally paid for 
   your license to the Software. If you return faulty media or a 
   printed user manual during this period, we will replace it free 
   of charge. You must pay the cost of delivery to us and insure 
   items being returned, since we do not accept the risk of loss or 
   damage in transit.
   
   THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN
   PLACE OF ALL OTHERS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
   CONCERNING THE SOFTWARE OR USER MANUAL. WE DO NOT AND CANNOT 
   WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OR RESULTS YOU MAY OBTAIN USING THE 
   SOFTWARE. EXCEPT FOR THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY AND REMEDIES, 
   AND FOR ANY WARRANTY, CONDITION, REPRESENTATION, OR TERM TO THE 
   EXTENT TO WHICH IT CANNOT OR MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY LAW
   APPLICABLE TO YOU IN YOUR JURISDICTION. WE MAKE NO OTHER 
   WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
   WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, MEDIA,OR USER MANUAL, INCLUDING 
   THEIR MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF 
   THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, INTEGRATION, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR 
   PURPOSE. WE WILL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, 
   SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE
   OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR USER MANUAL, EVEN IF WE 
   HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

   Because software in general is inherently complex and may not be 
   completely free of errors, We are not responsible for any costs 
   including, but not limited to, lost profits or revenue, loss of 
   time or use of the Software, loss of data, the cost of recovering
   software or data, the cost of substitute software, claims by third
   parties, or similar costs. In no event will our liability exceed 
   the amount paid for the license to the Software.

   defined at 48 CFR 2.101, consisting of “Commercial Computer
