There are actually two strange reasons (well, they're not strange to me)

(1) I don't have a lot of experience building EXE's; I have about a dozen that I build regularly, but their actual creation is buried in a PRG that I haven't looked at in a long time. Thus, the prospect of building a new EXE is, um, well, I don't know how long it would take me. (Having said this, it's the next thing I'll do when done with this message.)

(2) It seems to me that this problem should be handled in some configuration file or command line setting. Wrapping it in an EXE seems unnecessary (and, as it turned out, was so). By pursuing this further, now I've finally learned how to supply command line options when I had failed in doing so before.

Cheers,

Jim

P.S.: Some problems are worth pursuing just to get any working solution; others are worth pursuing to learn about differing techniques as well.
