NAME
   ECH 0.1, like ECHO, but don't print a trailing newline

SYNOPSIS
   ech [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
   ECH is a utility that's similar to ECHO, but with a useful
   variation: it will not append a newline after the last argument.
   For example:

   ```
   echo @set fullpath= > %TEMP%\foo.bat
   truename %1 >> %TEMP%\foo.bat
   call %TEMP%\foo.bat
   ```

   will not work, but

   ```
   ech @set fullpath= > %TEMP%\foo.bat
   truename %1 >> %TEMP%\foo.bat
   call %TEMP%\foo.bat
   ```

   will.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
   * An IBM PC or compatible
   * Any version of DOS

OPTIONS
   None.

BUGS
   Unlike most DOS programs, ECH will not give you help when you use
   the "/?" argument or no arguments. On the other hand, there is no
   need to worry about unexpected usage messages when using ECH in
   batch files and you can still get help by running "type ech.com".

   ECH trims spaces from the beginning and end of the command tail.
   In some cases, you may want leading or trailing spaces. One
   workaround is to replace the first leading or last trailing space
   with the character whose ASCII value is 0xff (255).
