Ah, that explains a lot of the confusion. I never used Win98, when I first started out on gnuserve it was on NT4.0 and it's only been tested by my on NT class OSs ever since. I think that I once made sure that it didn't obviously break on Win95 and since it seemed to work OK I've not looked at it any further. Apparently I didn't look deeply enough.

That aside, this is a shell bug and I'm not sure that there is any obvious way around it other than what we've already done. :(

Yes, on Windows 2000 it does. I just tried it on a Windows 98 machine, and sadly there it does fail to recognise the -q.


There is no DOS window with gnuclientw.

Yes there is;

If you're getting a DOS box for gnuclientw, does your shortcut point to a pif file rather than to gnucllientw directly? There really shouldn't be a dos box visible at all since gnuclientw is a windows app and absolutely doesn't access a concole, in fact it can't, though that's a different problem.

I don't know what version of gnuclientw you are using, but for all versions I have used (at least 2, maybe 3), gnuclientw does not open a DOS window. This is the case on Windows 98 for me too.
