For sure kixtart is simple and great ; the batch files with simple native OS commands are also great, and I do not think that there are much things they can not do (in fact you can do more things than can imagine with OS commands) . What can I say for perl ... simple powrfull ; can build tcp servers and clients with some lines ! So I suggest a new name for the forum "kixtart & perl" and a new url "http://kixtart_perl.org"
