I took a very close look at bat2ex12 a few months ago, and I am
sorry to say that it is practically useless.  The good news is that
version /pc/pd2/bat2ex13.zip corrects most of the bugs, and is a
very nice system for compiling batch files.  In a test of about 30
of my own more or less compilcated batch files the failure rate of
bat2ex12 was about 95% while with batex13 its was less than 10%.
