Because if you have a collection of utilities on your computer
which you frequently use in your scripts and then transfer one
of the scripts to an other computer, then there always is
at least one utility which is used by the script and which
you have forgotten to copy. You don't have this problem
if all is include within the script.

Yes, but you don't have a so simple executable file format
like com files in DOS, which are nothing but CPU instructions
(so you can generate executable files using printable ASCII
characters only).

goto :eof

:sub
echo %1
goto :eof
