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. -- Harry Gross | reserved for | something really Internet: hjg@amms4.UUCP (we're working on registering)| clever - any UUCP: {jyacc, rna, bklyncis}!amms4!hjg | suggestions?
