Batch to C Converter

This small snippet of C source code converts the commands of batch (i.e. the commands you type in command prompt) into the C source code. It was compiled in Dev-CPP and is pretty basic. I hope some of you might find it useful. It just uses the system() command of stdlib.h header file.
