I took a look at GETHELP and it looks fine to me. I have no objections
to including it as you suggest. Here are a few more comments that you
might consider.
1. It is possible to COPY c.c+c.c e.e. (Saves one
step).
2. The Norton Editor is one that allows almost unlimited line
length without CR's.
3. At the end of the BATch file, include SET GET=
to clear it out of the environment.
4. You might note that on the attempts that did not work, the
errorlevel is 0 indicating a problem. I decided not to add more
messages to GET. I didn't think there would be much point in moving
lines short enough to fit on the screen anyway, but I suppose it would
be an attention getter. Repeating the first 79 chars pretty well takes
care of that anyway. If I do another version, I may include automatic
copying of the first 79 chars to the end rather than requiring them in
the file. The EXE file is 1 byte short of 4K. 2 more bytes and it
would take up another cluster on a disk, and I was interested in
keeping it as small as possible for now.
That's about it. Quite clever of you to work it that way. And since it
worked for you, it could very well be helpful for others. By all means
stick it in if you want to...
