Edlin? Oops. I thought you were talking about the command shell, command.com,
win95's command.com (same name, different syntax), and NT's cmd.com (diff
name, diff syntax). Don't even ask why my sig has such fscked up quoting.
Character escaping or variable expansion anyone?

Or did you mean Telnet? Defrag? nslookup? find? DiskCompression? Oh, wait a 
minute... that's Bill's vision FOR EVERY PIECE OF SOFTWARE in 
Microsoft's so-called "Operating Systems". Why do it right when you can
half-ass it and force 90% of the schmucks out there to bend over anyway?
