This is incorrect. The Linux syntax uses the minus as the argument signaler
and has no colons in the string. The DOS syntax uses the slash as the
argument signaler and uses a colon between the argument and its value. Since
this version is supposed to be a DOS program the correct DOS syntax should
work. Having the Linux syntax work is an added bonus but we shouldn't have
to rely on it.
(Yes, Dave, you're right; the colon is correct. I saw an example earlier
today. Very sorry for throwing damp water on things. :-)
