Please note the difference: all windows versions include a command line. However that commandline afaik is not dos - it is able to run dos programs, either because based on dos (win 9x) or because capable of understanding the difference between w32 commandline programs and dos programs, and starting the neccessary dos *emulation*. But it is not dos, and the behaviour is not like dos. As far as I know, windows command line programs do not use ^Z as end-of-file terminators (although some do honour it for emulation/compatibility), only real dos programs do (anybody knows if there is a - MS - standard for this ?). If this is true, should wget on windows really emulate the behaviour of dos programs, of a environment windows originally was based on but where it is *not*running*anymore* (wget I mean) ? From a purists point of view, not. From a end-user point of view, possibly in order to facilitate the changeover. On the other hand, your report is the first one I ever saw, considering Hrvoje's reaction and the lack of support in the original windows port I'd say this is not a problem generally felt as important, so personally I'm in favor of not cluttering up the port anymore with special behaviour. But it is Hrvoje's decsion, as always. If you feel it is important write a patch and submit it, shouldn't be a major piece of work. Heiko -- -- PREVINET S.p.A.
