John,
Like most Unix-centric freeware, MHonArc's packaging makes the assumption
that people will initially read and follow directions in "readme" and
"install" text files.
The .bat file packaged with mhonarc dates back to a very early version of
the package; it seems to be obsolete. The current installation process
transforms the mhonarc Perl script into a .bat (or .cmd) file itself, thus
allowing
mhonarc [arguments]
to work without needing the old two line .bat file. Earl will probably
remove the bat directory :^) .
