Windows NT Shell Scripting is a comprehensive reference for network professionals. It is the only book available on the practical use of the Windows NT shell scripting language. The book begins with a high-level introduction to the shell language itself, then describes the shell commands that are useful for controlling or managing different components of a network, i.e. file management, etc. The second part of the book is a comprehensive reference of all the commands, organized by function, for easy reference by the reader.
IF you love and depend on Windows batch programming as much as I do, even in this day of PowerShell, .Net, etc. you need this book. Even after more than two decades, I still use Tim Hill's lucid, well thought out guide to frame my batch programming needs.
