TTARGS
This program may help if your shell or command interpreter plays tricks
on your quoting or special characters when typing a command. It simply
prints the command and its arguments as delivered to a program. For example:
ttargs here is a "less than char: <"
prints:
argc == 5
argv[0] == #C:\BIN32\TTARGS.EXE#
argv[1] == #here#
argv[2] == #is#
argv[3] == #a#
argv[4] == #less than char: <#
Don't worry about the argc and argv stuff, it's what's between the #'s
that matters.
TTRC
This program prints the return code of a program invokation. For example:
ttrc tcols from xxx
prints:
--- TTRC running command: tcols from xxx $1
tcols: No such file or directory
tcols: Can't open "xxx" for reading - exiting
--- TTRC completed, result code from tcols: 104 (Error: failed to open file)
ttrc can be used on non-TextTools programs too, but the success/warning/error
explanation will not make sense, only the return code.
