Batch compilers work only badly for COMMAND.COM compatible batches (each version introduces new behaviour of old commands, and most batch compilers haven’t been updated for some time). 4DOS batches use a superset of DOS batch commands, so batch compilers will not know what to do with them. 4DOS has BATCOMP.EXE, which will compress and (weakly) encrypt a batch, making it difficult for the novice user to decrypt and change that batch.
