Batch_Chat - v1.1

A chat made in Batch of all things. This chat was first created in 2011-2012 when I started to get interested in programming. Now it's 2014, and for no logical reason, I have started to improve it. It cannot communicate over the internet directly, it can only send messages locally on your network. BUT you can use Hamachi or a similar program to chat over the internet.

Features:

• Local Area Network (LAN) chat
• Support for Virtual LAN IP's
• Group chat
• Colors (via colous binary)
• Sound notification
• Quick start
• Help and command inheritance (for future ranks)
• Argument -reset to reset all data
• File encryption (very weak, look below for more info)

Commands:

• /afk - Says you've gone afk
• /back - Says you're back
• /cls - Clears your screen of previous text
• /clsfile - Clears the chat file
• /help - Lists all commands and their description
• /history - Loads chat history
• /host - Changes the host computer to a
  LAN/Virtual LAN IP
• /list - Lists players online
• /me - Say stuff about yourself
• /quit or q - Quits the chat properly
  (PLEASE USE THIS OR ELSE /list IS USELESS!)
• /say - Prints server message
