    Re: MPD Builder —Steve Bliss
   (...) Ahh, running it through strip (with default options, I didn't decipher the info strip spits out when run with no params) gave a 248K file. Much better. You want to put the DOS buildmpd.exe on your webpage with the other files, Jacob? Do you (...) (26 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: MPD Builder —Jacob Sparre Andersen
   (...) Yup. (...) Would be fine. Can you zip it and send it to me? (...) Was there any other problem than the long file names? I can do the renaming on Linux too (and it's only neccessary for DOS), so you don't have to send those to me. Play well, (...) (26 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)

        Re: MPD Builder —Steve Bliss
   (...) OK, I can't argue with that. (...) Hmm. I could be wrong, but I don't think there is any reasonable way to manage stderr. Definitely no command-line directive (like piping), and I can't find any command in the reference. Oh, well. Not a big (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: MPD Builder —Jeremy H. Sproat
   (...) You can with just about any decent 3rd-party command shell, e.g. 4DOS (1), bash, etc. Cheers, - jsproat 1. For those unfamiliar with it, 4DOS is a command.com almost-clone, with a ton of new (and useful) features that you'd normally find in (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
