DOS batch file mode

DOS batch file mode

[Charlie Martin]

It seems impossible that this hasn't been done already, but I can't
find it: I need a mode for editing Windows batch files (.BAT or .CMD).
 Anyone know of a good one?

I use bat-generic-mode.

IIRC it doesn't support .cmd-Files. But you can easily adapt it (merely 
copy & paste)

Thanks for the pointer.  As I said, I thought there was something
avialable, and generic-x has it.  The stopper was that if you're
working on UNIX and need to edit a .bat file, the bat file mode isn't
enabled.  but a little bit of elisp should fix it.

For this I use the mode generic-extras.el from Peter Breton. It's quite 
old, since it's dated 96/11/01, but it works for me.

well not a good one :-(, but a simple one is in generic.
If you're working under Unix/GNU Linux you have to set
(setq generic-define-mswindows-modes t)

Cheers
