Encoding Binary files in Batch files

The .mac source code files are for Ass486; Herbert Kleebauer's 68K-like assember

To include com programs into batch files you have to write programs which only uses opcodes in the range 0x20 to 0x7e (without < > | % ^ & " !). Small programs can be directly coded using the processor opcode table. Two examples are ech and myinput:

ech.com is similar to the echo command. It writes the command line after the first " till the penultimate character to stdout (without an trailing CRLF) ech.mac


@echo off
echo XP,;P_,EP0Ex0Ez0Em3Em-ZBP(Eiu![j@_YQ2M@53#@CI~.8'uxCISZ[SC5.bM!C>ech.com
ech.com "line with <>|^&%">tmp.txt
ech.com "but no CRLF">>tmp.txt
del ech.com


myinput.com assigns a keyboard input to batch variable myinput.mac


@echo off
echo BATCH_INPUT___hgQX-PPP_XPPP E#HH0E50EG0Ef0Ehs>myinput.com
echo myinput.bat hoAX5@@PZYh@xX5@D3!r/P[WX,b,-PZh>>myinput.com
echo X3!X2ErP,{,{PYX4=0ErWX,j,-PZh@@X3!=set input>>myinput.com
echo Enter name:
myinput.com
call myinput.bat
del myinput.com
del myinput.bat
echo You entered %input%


For larger programs (more than a few bytes) it is simpler to use a program to convert a normal com program to an ascii-only program. The batch below does this job. NOTE: you must assemble your com program with ORG=0x178 because the first 120 bytes are needed for the decoding routine which is inserted by the convert program. Six bits of the original com program are coded in one ascii-byte, so your program must not exceed 47 kbyte. The decoding routine of the convert program is (just as MYINPUT and ECH) directly written with ascii-only opcodes, the rest of the program is a normal com program, converted by itself to ascii only bytes.
rem - save the lines below as CONVERT.BAT
rem - write a COM program and assemble it with ORG=0x178 (PROG.COM)
rem   (you must not use the standard ORG=0x100 for this com programs!!!!)
rem - enter: CONVERT PROG.COM PROG.BAT
rem - the BATCH file PROG.BAT contains an encoded form of PROG.COM

An example for a program generated with CONVERT is echoo. echoo is similar to echo, but you can also include binary characters by specifying the hex code:
@echo off
echo Bj@jzh`0X-`/PPPPPPa(DE(DM(DO(Dh(Ls(Lu(LX(LeZRR]EEEUYRX2Dx=>echoo.com
echo 0DxFP,0Xx.t0P,=XtGsB4o@$?PIyU WwX0GwUY Wv;ovBX2Gv0ExGIuht6>>echoo.com
echo ?@xAyJHmH@=a?}VjuN?_LEkS?`w`s_{OCIvJDGEHtc{OCIKGMgELCI?GGg>>echoo.com
echo EL?s?WL`LRBcx=k_K?AxVD?fCo?Cd?BLDs0>>echoo.com

echoo This line contains $3c $3e $7c $25 and $24  $0d$0a
echoo           All leading spaces are removed 
echoo (to get identical results in DOS/Win9x/NT/2000)$0d$0a
echoo $20       insert a explitcit space ($2420) if you want leading spaces. 
del echoo.com


As an other example you can use this method to generate a hex-to-binary converter with ascii-only opcodes. This allows you to include any binary file into a batch file. h2b.com has a string as a parameter. Any line in stdin, starting with this string, is converted from hex to binary and written to stdout.
@echo off

A further method is, to make a dual executable file. Such a file is a valid batch program and a valid com program. You can generate such files with the following batch:
rem - save the lines below as CONVERT.BAT
rem - write a COM program and assemble it with ORG=0x200 (PROG.COM)
rem   (you must not use the standard ORG=0x100 for this com programs!!!!)
rem - enter: CONVERT PROG.COM PROG.BAT
rem - the BATCH file PROG.BAT contains an encoded form of PROG.COM

As an example, here is a binary executable batch header (source code: echadd.mac) which supports 2 functions:

e (echo) and + (increment)

The increment function increments a decimal number by 1.

example: ube.com +123

will write 124 to stdout (note: no space allowed after + and after the number)

The echo function is similar to the standard echo command. The text after the echo command is written to stdout. No <CR> <LF> is appended. You can output any byte by writing the hex value ($3c for < or $0d for <CR> ...). $t writes the current date in the form yymmdd to stdout. After writing the command line text, echo reads from stdin and writes to stdout until a <CR> or <EOF> is read. This byte transfer from stdin to stdout can be modified by subcommands:

The @ must be the first character in the batch file and there must be no trailing spaces in the first 13 lines.
