I'd like to submit an alternative to ECHOC, unimaginatively called CECHO:
http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/misc/
(it's near the bottom of the page).
It has the advantage of being a native Win32 program (there are also DOS
versions, although they require ANSI), as well as a few other features.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated (that's why it's v0.90, not 1.00).
Jason.
