batchfiles is a set of batch, javascript and HTML Application files that are useful for running R and associated programs. Version 0.6-0 updates them for the new architecture specific directory structure in R 2.12.0 . A few of the lesser used utilities have been dropped. Each batchfile is self contained. To install just place all or just any that you wish to use anywhere on your path. The batch command: path will show you which folders are on your path.
