long name: '''Turbo Batch Compiler''' or '''Turbo Batch File Compiler''') is a compiler that converts a [[Batch file|DOS Batch file]] to a [[DOS executable (.com)|DOS COM]] file.<br /> <br /> It was developed by Foley Hi-Tech Systems (v1.00-3.24), later by HyperWare (v5.00-5.01). It was sometimes distributed by itself, and sometimes as part of a suite named ''ExtraDOS Toolbox''.<br /> <br /> == Discussion ==<br /> TurboBAT pretty clearly started life as a rebranded copy of [[BAT2EXEC]] v1.2.<br /> <br /> Note that TurboBAT has its own version number, not synchronized with the version number of ExtraDOS Toolbox.<br /> <br /> The shareware versions produce files that have a nag message and a delay, making them basically useless. Known exceptions, with no nag message, are v1.00 and v3.00 beta A.<br /> <br /> Pristine files made by the shareware versions are unlikely to be found in the wild. &quot;Cracked&quot; versions of TurboBAT exist, with the nag message disabled.<br /> <br /> == Identification ==<br /> Files made by v1.00 are difficult or impossible to distinguish from [[BAT2EXEC]].<br /> <br /> Otherwise, the following byte pattern appears in the file:<br /> <br /> fc bd ?? 01 8b 6e 00 8b 66 02 8b 5e 04 b4 4a cd<br /> 21 a1 2c 00 89 46<br /> <br /> Note the similarity to [[BAT2EXEC#Identification]].<br /> <br /> The pattern is at offset 0 for v3.00 beta A (maybe also registered versions?).<br /> <br /> It's at offset 181 for other shareware v2.20-3.14. It's at offset 175 for shareware v3.15-5.01.<br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> * TurboBAT (selected versions)<br /> ** v1.00 (part of ExtraDOS 2.02): {{CdTextfiles|smsharew/UTIL2/XDOS202.ZIP|XDOS202.ZIP}}<br /> ** v2.31: {{CdTextfiles|nightowl/pdsi006/029A/TBAT231.ZIP|TBAT231.ZIP}}<br /> ** v3.00 beta A: {{CdTextfiles|swheaven1/UTILITY/BATCH2_2.ZIP|BATCH2_2.ZIP}} → TURBOBAT.*<br /> ** v3.02 (part of ExtraDOS 3.69): {{CdTextfiles|nightowl/pdsi006/016A/XDOS369.ZIP|XDOS369.ZIP}}<br /> ** v3.24: {{CdTextfiles|simtel/stmsdos9709/disk2/DISC2/BATCHUTL/TBT324.ZIP|TBT324.ZIP}}<br /> ** v5.00: {{CdTextfiles|cream09/utility/tbt500.zip|tbt500.zip}}<br /> ** v5.01: [https://archive.org/details/cd-ascq DP TOOL CLUB CD ASCQ] → CD_ASCQ_29_040596.iso → DOS/TOOLS/TBT501.ZIP<br /> <br /> == Sample files ==<br /> (Possible TurboBAT files -- may need to be confirmed.)<br /> <br /> * {{DiscMasterLink|view/10797/CD_ASCQ_20_020395.iso/bonus/recupere.zip/A_LIRE.COM|A_LIRE.COM}} (registered?)<br /> * {{DiscMasterLink|view/17650/MEGA.iso/melodius/readme.com|melodius/readme.com}} (registered?)<br /> * {{DiscMasterLink|view/35685/cdromgames-gd-collection1-1994.iso/games/ec/ec_ft.com|ec_ft.com}} (registered?)<br /> * {{CdTextfiles|pier06/039/DC_SCRN.ZIP|DC_SCRN.ZIP}} → DALLAS.COM (hacked)</div> Jsummers
