[ADMB Users] ADMB Installation Windows GCC

[Gabor Grothendieck]

If the bat files are being revised I suggest that this code be placed
at the top of each one in which case most people won't need to set
ADMB_HOME:

@echo off
setlocal
if not defined ADMB_HOME if exist C:\ADMB set ADMB_HOME=C:\ADMB
if not defined ADMB_HOME if exist "C:\Program Files\ADMB" set
ADMB_HOME=C:\Program Files\ADMB"
if not defined ADMB_HOME echo "Error: ADMB_HOME variable not found" & exit /b 1
