If you want to port UNIX commands to a DOS environment, I suggest
you start with modifying _main for whichever C compiler you are
using and make it parse arguments like the shell would.  I'm getting
ready to do that with mine after trying to port things like grep
and finding there was no way I could put a blank in the search string.
