   WELCOME TO WINBATCH 2013b!



   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/7/8/2008/2010.  

   The pieces are:

   WinBatch Interpreter      32-bit & 64-bit versions
   FileMenu and PopMenu      32-bit version  



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

   WinBatch Compiler         32-bit & 64-bit versions


 

   ======================================================================
   SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

   WinBatch requires an IBM PC or compatible running Microsoft Windows 2000/XP
   /2003/Vista/7/8/2008/2010.  In many cases running with other versions of 
   Windows may produce acceptable results.

***    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.                                     ***

***  1) In DiskFree and DiskSize, the items in "drive-list" can no        ***
***     longer be separated with spaces (in order to now support UNC's    ***
***     containing spaces). Vertical bars " | " or tabs will work.        ***
***                                                                       ***
***  2) In ItemCount, trailing delimiters are now significant.            ***
***     This means that the comma-delimited list "a,b,c," has 4 items     ***
***     in it.  Older versions of WinBatch reported 3 items in the list.  ***
***                                                                       ***
***  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.                            ***
***                                                                       ***
***  4) The following functions no longer add a trailing delimiter to     ***
***     the returned list (some of these are "legacy" functions that      ***
***     are no longer documented):                                        ***
***                                                                       ***

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

***  6) In WinBatch version 2001P the IconReplace function and            ***
***     IntControl 37 were modified in support of Windows XP.  Please     ***
***     see documentation for exact changes.  The most important          ***
***     problem is that if you use custom icons (as opposed to icons      ***

***  1) Time functions return a 4 year date instead of a 2 year date      ***

***  2)  Several functions that return a delimited list no longer         ***
***      return a trailing delimiter, standardizing the structure         ***
***      of a delimited list variable.  Unless you are manipulating       ***
***      lists outside of the standard functions (Item...) this           ***

***  3)  Changed the way the following string sorting and comparison      ***

   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

   Also available is our "WinBatch+Compiler," (if you have not  
   purchased it yet).  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, a separate product from the WinBatch
   Interpreter contained in these files, is available for $495.00,
   plus shipping, if applicable.  The WinBatch Compiler includes a
   copy of WinBatch.  In addition, if you buy a copy of WinBatch, you
   have 90 days to upgrade to the Compiler and just pay the difference
   in price (plus shipping).





   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.  





 The following information may be found below:

    a) Information on our fully functional demos and our
       "Registration Reminder" screens.

    b) A basic, concise explanation of our disclaimers.

    c) Installation instructions for our automated installation
       program. 

    d) Generic uninstall instructions.

                   REGISTRATION REMINDERS

 Unlicensed copies of Wilson WindowWare 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
 the bottom of this file. 
















                 HOW TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE

  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



Introducing maintenance subscriptions
-------------------------------------

Beginning with the 2003 versions of our products, Wilson WindowWare is
introducing a new licensing procedure for our software updates.  In the
past, we have released major new versions every few years which
required an upgrade fee, and periodic minor versions which were free for
those who had already purchased the latest major version.  This system had a
couple of drawbacks: it penalized users who purchased a product late in the
cycle, and it discouraged us from adding new features on an ongoing basis.
Therefore, we have decided to switch to a maintenance subscription system.


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

When you purchase a new copy of one of our products, your purchase price
will include a one-year maintenance subscription.  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 renew your subscription for an additional year.  If you choose not
to renew your subscription, you will be able to continue to use the versions
which were released prior to your maintenance subscription expiration, 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,
2003, you will be licensed to use any versions of that product which are
released in 2003.  If you choose not to renew your maintenance subscription,
then you won't be licensed to use new versions which are released after
that.  But you will be licensed to use the 2003 versions forever.


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

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

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

If you purchased an older version of one of our products, you do not have an
active maintenance subscription.  You may upgrade to the current version of
the product for a discounted price, depending on the version that you have.


What day does my maintenance subscription expire?
-------------------------------------------------

Maintenance subscriptions always expire on the last day of the specified
month.  If you purchase a new product in Jan. 2010, your maintenance
subscription for that product will expire at the end of Feb. 2011 (we give
an additional month to allow for shipping time).  If you renew your
maintenance subscription, it will be extended to the end of Feb. 2012.


What happens when I renew my maintenance subscription?
------------------------------------------------------

When you renew your maintenance subscription, you will receive a new license
code which will allow you to download and use an additional year's worth of
releases.  In addition, you will receive a package with the current version
of the software and the latest printed manuals - assuming you do not select
the "License Only" shipping option available.


Do I have to wait until the expiration date before I can renew?
---------------------------------------------------------------

No.  You may renew your maintenance subscription at any time during the year
before the expiration date.  No matter how far before the expiration date 
you renew, your existing maintenance subscription will be extended for a full
additional year.


What if I want to renew my subscription after it has expired?
-------------------------------------------------------------

You may renew your maintenance subscription retroactively after it has
expired.  However, you will first have to pay for the period of time between
the expiration date and the current date.  For example, if your maintenance
subscription expires at the end of Feb. 2004 and you choose not to renew it,
but then in Oct. 2004 you decide to resume your maintenance subscription,
you would have to pay a pro-rated amount for the months between Feb. 2004
and Oct. 2004 to bring your subscription up to date, and then pay for an
additional year of maintenance from Oct. 2004 to Oct. 2005.  Your new
maintenance subscription expiration date would then be Oct. 2005, and you
would receive a new license code which would be valid until then.
