So use: FToolsW32        WV>> maint /H /N /P /T /X               TK> Would be nice to accept both - and / in both versions of fmail.              I've thought about that.              But on linux that is not usual. The / is used in paths. So it's difficult to       distinguish between options and paths that start with a /.              And for the windows version I decided to keep backwards compatibility and not       change the behaviour from / to - for options, so not to break peoples existing       batch files...              (And I haven't implemented supporting both just on Windows)                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 50/22 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 305       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 317 426 428 550 664 700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 5555 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 460/256 1124 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400       SEEN-BY: 5020/8912 5054/30       PATH: 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
