Thanks.

I did find CMD.  But this is going to make it more fun to produce something
for people with the different OS's and have it work the same...  command.com
wants to give 8X3 filenames no matter what.  CMD does long filenames, no
problem, and by default too.

It must be quitting time somewhere in the world...
