In addition, you can supply data to the program you are starting. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Note !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DBTN.EXE can be freely distributed as long as there is no charge for it. When distributed, the following UNMODIFIED FILES must be included: DBTN.EXE, DBTN.WRI and DBTN.TXT.
