                    === SvarCOM implementation notes ===

=== Batch files support ======================================================

When SvarCOM executes a command, it checks first if it has a *.BAT extension.

If so, it switches into 'batch-mode':

 - allocates a batch 'node', which is a memory area that contains the

   path and filename of the batch file, as well as the number of the "next

   line to be executed".

 - the batch node is attached to the batch chain (a pointer owned by rmod) if

   the batch file was CALLed from within another batch file, and replaced the

   current batch if it was simply executed from another batch file.

When the rmod batch pointer is non-NULL, SvarCOM does not ask the user for a

command. Instead, it opens the batch file, jumps to the "line line to be

executed" and loads the command from there, incrementing "next line" in the

process. The maximum length of a batch file is of 65535 lines (any lines after

this limit will be ignored).
