Winbatch's Windows Interface Language
(WIL) is a library of core functions
which can be used to automate Windows
clients and NT servers. Available
also are a number of free add-on
special-purpose WIL Extenders that
handle tasks such as automating
sending and retrieving mail (the
Postie Extender), zipping and unzipping
files (the Zipper Extender), ftping
and posting information to web pages
(the WinInet Extender), handling
complex ADSI management (the ADSI
Extender), and handle pushbutton,
radiobuttons, and drop-down menus
behind-the-scenes with the Control
Manager Extender, just to mention
a few.
With its compiler, WinBatch+Compiler
makes Windows utilities for unlimited
runtime distribution.
WinBatch stands out in the crowd
by virtue of its wide range of capabilities.
It automates the OS, all software
running on it, networking, and Internetworking.
Microsoft has flattered us by issuing
a rollout utility, called Scriptit,
compiled with our 97D version of
WinBatch+Compiler. If you find Scriptit
limiting, as you move to automate
tasks on Windows 98 and later versions
of Windows, you can use our Scriptit
to WinBatch translator available
here.
Of course, we recommend you use
WinBatch+Compiler for your rollout
utilities. When it comes to distributing
in-house software, WinBatch has
the depth to handle every situation.
Between the core language and its
language "extenders", the number
of functions is now over 1,000.
Although you may initially need
only a few, when the need arises,
WinBatch will be ready to provide
an answer.

We know you will be glad you tried
WinBatch.
WinBatch, $99.95, is the
single PC version. WinBatch+Compiler,
$495, adds a compiler for unlimited
runtimes. WebBatch, $295, is our
Windows Interface Language applied
to CGI scripting on Windows Web
servers. All products include a
copy of WinBatch.
WinBatch Interpreter:
WINBATCH.EXE
When installed, WINBATCH.EXE
associates itself with files with
.WBT extensions so that you can
double click on .WBT files in Explorer
to launch your Winbatch scripts
on machines with Winbatch installed.
The Winbatch Interpreter does not
need to be installed for compiled
standalone WIL scripts.
WinBatch Compiler:
WBCOMPILER.EXE
The Compiler allows you
to compile standalone EXEs that
can be distributed on an unlimited
basis.

Networking,
both MS and Novell, and Internetworking.
Advanced
networking support is included
in the WinBatch.zip demo download
file. See the Win32 Network Extender.HLP
file and the Netware.HLP file which
are both installed in your Winbatch
Start Menu. TCP/IP utilities are
included in the Internet WinInet,
Winsock, and Postie Extenders. The
latter automates emailing.
WinMacro macro recorder
WinBatch
2001 and versions beyond now have
a sophisticated re-engineered macro
recorder. It can record keystrokes,
and mouse moves and has many playback
options. Recordings can be translated
into WIL script format. You can
find the WinMacro recorder in the
WinBatch PopMenu toolbar icon on
the SysTray.
Application
Manipulation
SendKeys,
SendKeysTo, SendMenusTo, SendKeysChild,
and DDE are documented in the main
Windows Interface Language help
file. The macro recorder is located
on our PopMenu. ODBC operations
are handled in the ODBC extender.
GUI manipulation is in the Control
Manager extender. See the many free
add-on WIL Extenders on our Download
page or in your "WIL Extenders"
folder on your CD-ROM.
I can never stress enough the importance
of WinBatch in an SMS Admin`s life.
There is a command in WB that allows
you to RUNAS. You use RUNAS and
the name and password of a user
account that has admin rights and
everything after that script item
will run as if you were logged in
as that person.
