INTRODUCION
-=-=-=-=-=-
J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL  is a complete new, on no other programming  language
based,  from  the  german company J.M.K S.F. designed    programming  language
for development of batch-likely, small computer programs. The programming lan-
guage  comes directly with a interpreter to test and run programs  instant  as
soon as with a  fast compilersystem, which can create  stand-alone   .EXE  and
.COM programs, that don't need any runtime modules or something like that.
The programming language is in the presented Freeware Edition a complete deve-
lopment system. J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL  was developed for PC profis and  de-
velopers just as for "normal" PC users, hobby programmers and people who wants
to develop just some computer programs!
With  only 20 programming instructions is the programming language  very  slim
for experienced developers, however with that 20 instructions you can  already
do much things.
Also for your "old" Batch-programs, the programming language is very helpfull:
The included "Bat2Rb Compiler" is able to compile Batch programs in  the  code
of the J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH¸ programming language. Then you can compile  them
to stand-alone .EXE programs.  Then  they  are  saved  against    unauthorized
changes, and you can give them to each other.
Unique: With the Freeware Edition you can, if you had registered you for  free
at J.M.K S.F., you can pass you programs along and you can sell them!! Additi-
onal you can then update cheaply on other programming languages  and  products
from J.M.K S.F..

2.1
The Features of the J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH¸ programming language
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL 1.1 FE offers the following features:

- Directly from J.M.K S.F. new designed programming language
- Fast exe-compiler, linker and interpreter
- Rapid development of small programs
- Online handbooks
- Free for private and commercial use!
- Additional features for Batch-programs
- Register for free!

Additional features for registred users:

- Free and unlimited developer support from J.M.K S.F.
- Update possibilitys on other J.M.K S.F. programming langauges and
  products as soon as further versions of J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL 
- Only registred users are allowed to pass their self-created programs to
  each other or to sell them!

2.2
The devevered programs
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL 1.1 Freeware Edition comes  with  the  following
programs:

2.2.1
The Compiler RBC.EXE
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL 1.1 Compiler 1.1 compiles the source code, which
consists of J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL-programming  instructions,  to  so  named
COC-Files (Compiled Object Code), by it compiles the instructions  in  runtime
machinecode. At the same time it checks the syntax of the  program  if it  has
no  errors.  If  so,  it  outputs  an error  message.  The from that resulting
COC-Code, a file with the extension .COC, consists out of several specificati-
ons and the compiled machine code.
The  linker  will  be started,  which links the  program  with  the  necessary
runtime library to a stand-alone .EXE program.
COC-Code is only be created by J.M.K S.F. compiler programs, and is only link-
able with J.M.K S.F. linkers.

2.2.2
The Linker PLINK.EXE
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The linker J.M.K S.F. PowerLink¸ is provieded with every J.M.K S.F. compiler.
It links the COC-Code, which is generated by the compiler, with the  necessary
runtime library in a runable, stand-alone program with the file extension .EXE
or .COM.
The stand-alone is runable as good as on every DOS- and Windows-Computer.

2.2.3
The Interpreter RBI.EXE
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The  interpreter of the J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL 1.1 programming language  can
run  J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL -source codes directly, without compile it befo-
re. So a prompt execution and testing of a program is guaranted.

2.2.4
The compiler BAT2RB.EXE
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The  BAT2RB-Compiler  compiles batch-programs in code of the J.M.K S.F. Rapid-
Batch  programming language. So you can compile old batches  to .EXE-programs.
But there are some problems with batch-programs,  that need the errorcodes  of
other programs, because J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL don't supports errorcodes.

2.2.5
The Programming Shell RBPS.EXE
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
With the programming shell, you can fast develop programs in J.M.K S.F. Rapid-
Batch PL. You can use it like a development environment.
The J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH PL¸ 1.1 Programming Shell 1.1 was itself written  in
the J.M.K S.F. RapidBATCH¸ programming language to see  what's  possible  with 
this small batch language! You will find the code in the  directory  \examples 
of the install directory in the file RBPS.RB.
You must compile it, if you want to use it as an .exe-program!

2.3
Forth versions
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
