Alternative to Splat (aka
Webfork discovers DOS batch files)
Background: On a machine I work on, there's quite a few safeguards that I didn't setup. This is actually good for the site as it means I'm going to be working with PFW more often, but it does mean I don't have access to certain programs, including the
favorite of 2015, Splat. This is painful because I'm doing a lot of reboots. Fortunately, I found something that helped with the batch file (care of MakeUseOf):

Yes, Ditto is listed twice to get around the PA-format version
restart issue.
