    Who (apart from my good self) still writes .bat files? Are they common or am I one of the old fogies that still employs his DOS knowledge?

    Just came across this old post. I have to say, there are a few things for which you cannot do without DOS. For example "xcopy /s/e/d/y/c" or "xcopy /s/e/d/y/c/l" I use this for backup as well as synchronizing folders and several other things that just can't be done or at least done efficiently in Windows Explorer. Another one is my p.bat (pings several servers to tell me how the network is doing) and t.bat which does the same thing with traceroute. Cheers!
