Working on Dr.Batcher 2.0 Beta

The first post on this blog is going to be about working on the next release of Dr.Batcher. Ok, it's a good topic.
The most interesting and valuable feature of Dr.Batcher 2.0 must be Simple mode of the script editor. What does this mean? Imagine that you speak to computer in English while writing a batch script. So you write "Delete file" instead of "Del", "Register library" instead of "regsvr32.exe", etc. You have no need to remember all the keys of each command, because the editor con tell you everything you need to know on each parameter.
This will look somehow like this:
It's not hard to develop such tool for the new batch scripts creation. But if you develop pure editor that allows you to edit the existing batch files, you should create a batch script parser. The parser is the most difficult component of Dr.Batcher to develop, and the major part of current beta-testing work is being performed to make the parser work right with any kind of batch files. But it's needful because users want to edit their old scripts and update them. We believe that our work on parser won't be a waste of time.
