I have included some examples of batches that can (must) be used with
MTA. The collection contains the following files:

MTACHILD.BAT    Usage : When MTA must call itself (with swapping)
                        when an arc-in-arc file is converted. See
                        MTA.CTL;

MTABETWE.BAT    Usage : An extended example (containing the MTA_CRC
                        and MTA_DIR programs) of the batch that can
                        be called in the ExitBetweenConversion exit
                        of MTA;

MTABETWN.BAT    Usage : A normal example (containing normal CRC32
                        and DOS DIR programs) of the batch that can
                        be called in the ExitBetweenConversion exit
                        of MTA;

MTACOMPN.BAT    Usage : An example that can be used in the exit
                        ExitAfterCompression;

MTASTART.BAT    Usage : An example that can be used in the exit
                        ExitBeforeStart;

MTA__END.BAT    Usage : An example that can be used in the exit
                        ExitBeforeEnd;

MTAFORMT.BAT    Usage : An example that can be used in the exit
                        ExitBeforeFill (only with /D and the
                        AllDisketteFiles options set to ON);

MTACATLT.BAT    Usage : An example that can be used in the exit
                        ExitAfterFill (only with /D option set
                        to ON);

All exits are optional, you do not have to include them at all. The
following general rulles apply to all batch-files:

- MTA will clear the screen (it's own screen);
- MTA will restore the cursor;
- MTA wil NOT restore the video-mode. If MTA is started with, lets
  say 43-lines support and some of the (buggy!) programs that are
  called in a shell will restore the screen to 25-line mode and
  not back to 43-line mode after they have finished, MTA will not
  restore the mode back to 43-line support (see DOC). MTA WILL act
  according to the new screen dimensions and will reset it's own
  screens to the new mode;
- MTA will call COMMAND.COM (or an alternative shell) with /C. This
  is ALWAYS done with help of the COMSPEC variable;
- You do not have to call a batch, you can also call a program, but
  in this case you must either have the program in the DOS-path or
  supply the full path and name of the program;
- MTA will preserve the directory, so you can change the directory
  to something else, MTA will change it back after the call returns
  to MTA;
- You can include a full 'circus' in your batch-files. In this case
  it is advised to use the swapping program (look into MTACHILD.BAT
  for an example);
