Lines: 10 Without getting too doshish here, how do you find the .exe file? DOS doesn't tell you the name of the command you are executing.

Even on Unix the first argument is not assured to be the name of the program you ran. -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
