ListConsole.exe - similar to Unix's $SHLVL variable - list the processes in the current console and returns an errorlevel saying how many.

This uses the inbuilt compilers in Windows 10 - there are three VB.NET compilers and three C# compilers - just copy each text file into the same folder and double click the batch file to make the program.

Similar to Unix's $SHLVL variable but adds ProcessIDs and command lines. List the processes in the current console and returns an ErrorLevel saying how many.
