Isn't EXIT a build in commando in the CMD.EXE and COMMAND.COM therefore it isn't possible thats not there.
You're right that the Win9x have no /b switch (I've not seen a Win9x machine for years :( ). According to some documentation I found in the web EXIT exits the command.com in Win9x (like without the /b switch in Win2k+).
There is another way which will work on Win9x too ... but it is more a hack :
Example:
ECHO %ERRORLEVEL% | CHOICE /C:12345678 /N >NUL
Will set the errorlevel 1-8. But it won't work with negative error levels or errorlevels greater or equal than 10. I don't know another way, sorry :/

Hi!
Please pay attention: in Win98, there is no /b parameter available. A line as EXIT %ERRORLEVEL% exits, but I cannot say if it only exits the batch or the COMMAND.COM (that is the intended usage for the /B parameter in CMD.EXE)
In Win95, the EXIT command might be missing. I haven't tested, but I cannot remember to have seen it.
Another chance for Win9x systems would be to provide .COM files instead of .BAT files. But this would need some knowledge on building .COM files I haven't got.

Hi
try: ---------- mono mcs.exe exit /b %ERRORLEVEL% ------------

Hey guys,
We have an issue with Mono, we are shipping batch files for Windows like this:
c:\>type mcs.bat mono mcs.exe c:\>
The problem is that if `mcs.exe' returns an exitcode different than zero, the error is not propagated to the caller, so this means that in Makefiles, things keep going even if there is a failure.
Anyone knows enough DOS to tell me how to fix that?
Miguel.
