Yes.

   bpc.bat:

     @gpc -g -O2 --borland-pascal --automake="-g -O2 --borland-pascal" %1.pas -o %1.exe %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

The `@' means "don't echo this command to the screen".
AFAIK, there are no `\' signs in DOS to break long lines.
The "%2 %3 %4 ..." are there to pass additional command-line
parameters given to `bpc.bat' to `gpc'.

Problem with such batch files:  These will easily bump against
the 128-character limitation of command-lines under DOS ... :-(
