I think the only things that are really needed to write cross OS are:

1 - Watch out for long command lines.  95/98 have a limit of something 
awful like 128 characters.

2 - Make sure you use short path names/file names.  Ie  ecs-1.3.3.jar turns 
into
ECS-13~1.JAR.  (Use dir /x to get the short file name/directory names)

I'm not aware of any other major differences between the batch files.  But 
I hope this helps.
