I tried Bash on Cygwin, but did not know enough about setting up the
environment to get it working.
Instead I got an excellent answer from alt.msdos.batch which used the

Hi Roose,
Actually, it is a good thing because it allows those who know the Python
language to be able to show the benefits and weaknesses of the language.
Sure, the attitude here will be "Yes, it's a great language." Yet, at
the same time, it also enables the poster to be able to see potent
