Extended Batch Language (EBL) is a script interpreter and scripting language, primarily for DOS. The language is an enhanced variant of that used in batch (.BAT) files. It was developed by Frank Canova, later by Seaware.

EBL was apparently renamed to EBL-Plus as of version 4.00. There is also Professional EBL-Plus, which can compile scripts to COM format.

Identification
