TCC and CMD / BAT files

[CWBillow]

When you (I) install TCMD / TCC, it says that having TC the default for BAT or CMD files isn't recommended.

How come?

Because TCC is not 100% compatible with CMD's syntax.

I use the BTM extension when I write a batch file using TCC features. I only use CMD or BAT for batch files that can run under regular CMD. In many cases TCC can process those too, but not always.

There are some people who take great pride in writing batch files which exploit (i.e. require) the bugs in Microsoft's command shells....

That answers that!
