Scripts are everywhere. As long as you use the right tool for the right job,
scripts are short, fast and effective. There is one area where they usually
lack: user interactivity. It is difficult to create a good user interface
in most script languages.

Now there is the Wizard's Apprentice. It will allow you to ask questions from
a script file, using Windows dialog boxes in the so-called Wizard style: large
dialogs asking one question at a time, with a Back button, a Next button and
a Cancel button. Using a well-described and portable API you can create a
wealth of commonly used dialog controls.
With a few common scripting techniques, the Wizard's Apprentice
will allow you to create wizards with style!

There are several types of batch file utilities:




• new & additional commands
  
• improvements & extensions of existing commands
  
• shells & interpreters
  
• batch file compilers
  
• editors and IDEs
  




This list doesn't even attempt to be complete, as there are literally
thousands and thousands of batch file utilities available on the web.





The limited space for the descriptions of these tools doesn't always
do them justice, so check out the authors' web sites for more details.
