Hi Bob

Another pastblast while I was looking for something else (I left

the date in this time)...

Agreed. Many of those programs are just lazy, I've found. I can

usually take them out of the path, and write a batch file with the

same name in my UTILS dir, such as grunge.bat:



 c:

 cd c:\apps\grunge

 grunge.exe %1



(or in 4dos)

 cdd c:\apps\grunge^grunge.exe %&



Cheers
