Updated.

You might want to put a <div> with a 1px or 2px border on that batch script instead of text quotation marks. It will make the toot a little more readable. ;)

Nice collection, I've used a few of these in the past.

and am checking on the vanitygen, I don't compile often.  Last time I did it was on a PowerMac G4 and it took a long time.
