Among other things, the MiniTrue docs indicate you can have multiple find/replace strings on a command line, so there isn't a need to invoke mt that often. For example, instead of mt -b- -c -n wattcp.cfg #ipaddr = my_ip= mt -b- -c -n wattcp.cfg #netmask = netmask= mt -b- -c -n wattcp.cfg #gateway = gateway= mt -b- -c -n wattcp.cfg #nameserver = nameserver= mt -b- -c -n wattcp.cfg #hostname = hostname= it looks like mt -b- -c -n wattcp.cfg #ipaddr = my_ip= #netmask = netmask= #gateway = gateway= #nameserver = nameserver= #hostname = hostname= would do the same thing. > As an alternative you can contact David Dunfield and see if he would > license his code in a way that FreeDOS could use it.

There are lots of useful DOS tools not offered under a license that permits distribution with FreeDOS, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be used. If nothing else, the wiki can have pointers to them. > Mike ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
