I wrote a Batch File to Bash online converter (Bat2Bash) & put it on my site today, I consider it as Alpha version since it needs more work such as FOR & DO, it also does not know how to handle variables yet but it is planned & I also paln on having a it handle zip will with gnu zip & unzip or somehting like that when folks need to replace pkzip, pkunzip or pkzip25, this should help folks migrate to Linux, I may even write a Bash2Bat converter or maybe a Bat2Perl converter but I think there is a Bat2Perl converter out there, I will check into it before I start a Bat2Perl converter. I was going to do Bat2Bash as a compiled program & it popped in my mind to make it a online converter so folks with any operating system could use it, Windows usres can use Windows PowerShell, GNU Bash, or Win-Bash to run Bash scripts, there might even be a Bash for DOS... I hope this help folks out there & everyone likes it even though it is a Alpha version right now... http://www.filegod.netfirms.com
