BatKit is a collection of utilities meant to enhance batch files. The highlights of the collection are GetKey, SaveDir and Wait. Wait pauses a batch file for a length of time or until a specific time. SaveDir stores the current directory in the environment. It can change drives and directories in one step. GetKey provides a way to make batch files interactive and has many features and options. DOS may be dying but it isn't dead yet and BatKit can extend its life. It's free to try so see for yourself why BatKit and GetKey have received favorable mentions in both PC Computing and PC Magazine. It's been awhile since then but BatKit is even better now. BatKit is a shareware product ($15). Site licensing is available.
