Hello,i have two questions: 1.I have this program but no instructions for it. Can i somehow find out which arguments it accepts 2. with wich programming tool was a program created if it works on win 3.1 95/98 Thanx!!!

1. In your application, there should be a help file telling you all of the primary commands that the program supports and uses. It may be readme.txt, info.hlp, info.hlp, *.hlp, *.txt, or *.nfo. 2. If you program any application with a 16 bit compiler programming tool such as Microsoft C++ 3.1, Delphi 1.0, Turbo Pascal 1.0, or any other 16 bit programming application, and compile it on a 16 bit OS, it will work with the future versions of that paticular OS that are 32 bit instead of 16 bit. Windows 98, 95, and XP are all capable of running 32 bit applications by emulating a 16 bit run-time environment.

If there is not help file etc (sometimes it is embedded) try the usuals like /h /help or /? Some of these programs might say "parameter not recognized: valid parameters are ..." Alternatively, if you can find the DOS equivalent of the Unix strings command, just type strings progname and it will tell you all the ASCII strings in the program. Not very much good if they are compressed strings but great for the older programs when such things did not exist. and then you can go from there.

Hi, perhaps it would make things easier if you could tell us which program you need help for... Bye, Gaby
