I'm trying to learn and use PowerShell more, but plenty of other folks I know don't use PowerShell. To allow them to use my scripts I use the following cmd.exe batch file to make it easy to call
PowerShell scripts. To use, just name the batch file name the same as the corresponding PowerShell script filename and put it in the same directory.
@echo off if "%1"=="/?" goto help if "%1"=="/h" goto help if "%1"=="-?" goto help if "%1"=="-h" goto help
%systemroot%\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Command . %~dpn0.ps1 %* goto end
:help %systemroot%\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Command help %~dpn0.ps1 -full goto end
:end
Additionally for PowerShell scripts that modify the current working directory I use the following batch file:
@echo off if "%1"=="/?" goto help if "%1"=="/h" goto help if "%1"=="-?" goto help if "%1"=="-h" goto help
2011 May 10, 10:49Interesting standards disagreements showing up in specs: "Some implementers feel a same-origin restriction should be the default for all new resource types while others feel strongly that an opt-in
strategy usuable for all resource types would be a better mechanism and that the default should always be to allow cross-origin linking for consistency with existing resource types (e.g. script,
images). As such, this section should be considered at risk for removal if the consensus is to use an alternative mechanism."referencewebdevelopmentfontspecificationw3ccss3

2011 Apr 30, 4:33"The HTTP-based Memento framework bridges the present and past Web by interlinking current resources with resources that encapsulate their past. It facilitates obtaining representations of prior
states of a resource, available from archival resources in Web archives or version resources in content management systems, by leveraging the resource's URI and a preferred datetime. To this end, the
framework introduces datetime negotiation (a variation on content negotiation), and new Relation Types for the HTTP Link header aimed at interlinking resources with their archival/version resources.
It also introduces various discovery mechanisms that further support briding the present and past Web."technicalrfcreferencehttpheadertimemementoarchive

practical experiences as well as road blocks and opportunities for this type of a network setup. The document also makes some recommendations about where such networks are applicable and what should
be taken into account in the network design. The document also discusses further work that is needed to make IPv6-only networking applicable in all environments."internetipipv6ipv4nattechnicalreference
