I wasn't "criticizing" DOS, just making the comment. ;-) I used to avoid trying cleverness in DOS because it is so easy to write programmes in Turbo Pascal to do such things.
I had a look at Windows media Player last night, and found that although you can start it from DOS, you can't pass any options. :_| But the "/?" option to a call is always the first step when investigating programme bevaviour. (I've even used the *nix strings programme to look for undocumented options, at times). |
