I wrote a little program called "instant application" that was intended to
do this. It came with an instant-applicationized version of a UNIX-y "PR"
program. It seems to have sunk without a trace (though it seems a few people
are using my file requestor, which is just a variant of instant).

It's easy enough to hook this into 'main', particularly if most of your
main is like this:

	switch(**argc) {
		case 'a': optiona();
		...
	}
