It is possible to run BAT files on the OmniGo before Geos gets
started. It uses miniCOMMAND (Revision 2.0) by Datalight, Inc, as its
command processor for the initial Geos boot process (look at the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the B: drive). It has the ability to do the
following DOS commands: CD COPY DEL DIR ECHO EXIT GOTO IF REM SET TYPE
VER CALL MKDIR RMDIR.
However, doing BAT files is tooo much work and can be a pain. IZL is
much better for most file and low intensity computing.
