>>From looking at the Ritlabs web site, I have determined the following:

C> 1) "The Bat!" should be written as such. It is not "the Bat," "TheBat,"
C>    "theBat!," "TheBat!," or variation thereof.

As much as I like The Bat, as an editor I abhor this advice from the
website and do not follow it. Ritlabs must present its trademark with
the exclamation point, but others need not do this. It is sufficient
in general use, and particularly in running text, to simply capitalize
the name.

The same is true of things like eBay and dBASE. There is no need to
follow goofy capitalization in running text. Ebay and Dbase are just
fine.
