Dear everybody, long ago there circulated a number of binary patches
to COMMAND.COM (for DOS 2.x and 3.1) that set ECHO to default to OFF
when a .BAT file was executed. I like not to see the first statement
'ECHO OFF' echoed when a batch is run, so does anybody have this in-
formation for DOS 3.3 COMMAND.COM. (I guess I could browse around a
little in the executeable with some debugger, assuming that only the
location of the code has changed, not the code itself {at least not
drastically}. Still, if anybody already knows...)

You can mail me as bl@infovox.SE (or maybe others also want this, so
it's worth posting a reply.)

Thanks to you all (if you reply ;-),			-- Bjorn
