12/8    In NT, is there a way to run a command-line program without displaying
        a command prompt window, or leave a command-line program running after
        closing the command prompt window?  Thanks.  -- yuen
        \_ Check out the 'start' command for the latter.  For the former, you
           can telnet in and use an expect script so you're technically not
           _displaying_ a command prompt but you are of course opening one.
           What are you trying to do?  Maybe there's another way.  Why does
           it matter that a command prompt isn't displayed?
           \_ I want to run some background processes without associated
              windows, similar to "foo >& /dev/null" in Unix.
                \_ See if NT's "start" command does what you want.
        \_ You might also find the 'srvany' program useful. -brg
