MS-DOS has an undocumented config.sys option, switchar. It can have two possible values, '-' or '/'. When its value is '/' MS-DOS command line options begin with '/'. When its value is '-' MS-DOS command line options begin with '-' and you may use '/' as a directory name separator. When switchar=-, MS-DOS commands are quite similar to Unix commands. Does anyone know how an application program can learn the setting of the switchar option? From the asbestos mailbox of: Randolph Fritz UUCPnet: decvax!philabs!wu1!rf
