Well, if memory serves, YN.EXE is distributed with dBase, and simply asks for a
yes or no response, and then returns the response as it's exit code.  I am not
sure if the exit is a binary 0/1 or a 1/2 or a 'y'/'n', but experimentation (or
reading A-T's _terrible_ manuals!) should be able to resolve the answer.
