Is the script stored within a file with a .bat extension?

Do I have to make any changes if I am using WinZip to unzip the defs.zip
file?

What I posted is a simple batch file but any scripting language can be used. I use KiXtart
script interpreter.

The UNZIP.EXE utility will extract the definition file as needed. WinZip by itself is NOT a
command line utility and it detracts from the scripting concept. Scripts use Command Line
utilities.

I don't know what a scripting language is; that is way outside my
experience. So, I will leave it.

But thanks all the same.
