No patch needed.  Just put the character @ in column one and the command
(any command) won't echo.  You can start the .bat file with:
	@echo off

and get the problem solved.  If you want to share the bat files with
obsolete :-) versions, you'll have to dig up a patch, I don;t have it.
Besides, I no longer put *any* patches in my system files, since people
tend to mistruct me if the CRC isn't right.
