In Win9x, this should do it:

===== BATCH SCRIPT BEGIN =====
@echo off
if "%1"=="GoTo:" %1%2
echo e100'SET %%1='> %TEMP%.\T.BAT
for %%? in (rcx 7 w q) do echo %%?>> %TEMP%.\T.BAT
type %TEMP%.\T.BAT |DEBUG %TEMP%.\T.BAT > nul

:: Set INPUT file below (you might use %1)
type INPUT.EXT>> %TEMP%.\T.BAT

call %TEMP%.\T.BAT VAR
echo ; |CHOICE /c;%VAR%; call %0 GoTo: parse;> %TEMP%.\T.BAT
for %%? in (call del) do %%? %TEMP%.\T.BAT

:: Set OUTPUT file below (you might use %2)
echo %VAR%> OUTPUT.EXT

set VAR=
goto eof
:parse
for %%? in (1 2 3) do SHIFT
set VAR=%5%6/%3%4/%1%2%7%8
for %%? in (1 2 3) do SHIFT
set VAR=%VAR%:%6%7:%8%9
:eof
===== BATCH SCRIPT END =====

Watch out for line wrapping!

Read commented lines. Just for making things clear: if the INPUT file contains:

0123456789ABC

The OUTPUT file will contain:

56/34/1278:9A:BC
