Reply: (edit)Tami, obviously batch files are not programs. There isn't much available for DOS programmers today because the operating system has become so obsolete, but Microsoft QBasic is a good example of a compiler that will allow you to create DOS .EXE files. There are also non-free programs for Windows that can create DOS executables (e.g. Borland Delphi), but they require Windows to run.

Reply: (edit)Also, there's a new program out now for DOS called NovaScript. It's based on QBasic but has support for XMS memory. Download it from: http://blaklight.tekscode.com/qbcm/issues/3/

There are also many free compilers/assemblers. One of the easier "language"'s to learn might be the Moonrock compiler, which generates assembly code from a basic-like language. (I found it by using a search engine and searching for free compilers.) Borland/Inprise also will allow you to download "antique" DOS C-compilers, ie early versions of Turbo C. Of course, there's always the interpreted Qbasic that came with DOS. You should already have that on your system. DOS 5.00 also included a few sample Qbasic programs to learn from. (My personal favorite was Gorillas, still the only "video game" I've ever liked.)

Reply: (edit)Batch files are programs! Batch is
an interpretive script language much
like perl, awk and qbasic. It is a real
low level interface programming language. You can even get batch compilers if you want
to turn batch programs into executables.
