As the title says

No, they're not the same. If you're using the moderator's compiled findcd, you just need to run it and it can find the current CD-ROM drive and set the %CDROM% variable beforehand, very convenient...
findcd.bat can contain anything, so how could they be the same?

Could this big brother explain the -f parameter of findcd and the findcd.bat below

set cdf=

What is cdf being set for

findcd -f\%cdf% -e
I can't understand the line above

Does findcd.exe have a -f parameter???

There is a -f
Don't know what it does

The following is quoted from hotdog's post on 2003-8-16 22:49:17:
There is a -f
Don't know what it does

That's the old findcd.com, right... FINDCD.EXE doesn't have -f.
