it a batch file, and in a .d file yielded no results.

rdmd is in the path. Win 7. ran .bat and .d files both from windows shell and
a cmd prompt.

dont really need it, but I know Andrei is usually pretty precise about these
kind of things - and it peaked my curiosity. maybe in MSDOS it worked ?

No, MS-DOS used extensions like Windows.

Shebang makes sense if you try to run a D program from a 
bash-like shell, e.g. using MSys or CygWin. It'd make sense to 
look for rdmd in the PATH (as opposed to passing an absolute 
path), assuming that'll work at all. Replacing cat with type 
seems odd, though, since using a shebang-aware shell implies that 
other Unix-like tools are available, like cat.

I assumed he meant natively not using a 'nix shell.
