In some cases, it might apply. In our case, multiple developers will launch the EXE with custom parameters. So, the same EXE on the same PC can be used by multiple developers occasionnaly and they will all have their own preferences depending on which PRG they wish to execute with the choice of multiple parameters. Basically, the request was to have an EXE as a wrapper to multiple very small PRG to be executed without the need to have them compiled and framed within a framework to log and collect data.
