ECHO LogBatch.bat,  Version 1.00 for Windows 2000 and later
ECHO Run a batch file and log each individual command line and its result
ECHO.
ECHO Usage:  LOGBATCH.BAT  some_bat.bat  [ optional arguments for some_bat ]
ECHO.
ECHO Where:  "some_bat.bat" is the batch file to be logged
ECHO.
ECHO Note:   "some_bat.bat" may have either a .bat or .cmd extension,
ECHO         but it MUST be a batch file, not an executable.
ECHO.
ECHO Issues: LogBatch.bat MAY fail on switches like ^/? or ^/A in
ECHO         some_bat.bat's optional command line arguments.
ECHO         The displayed value for the return code is not reliable.
ECHO.
