How do you folks feel about the current -install option sequence? Would it
be -- good, bad, better, worse, or don't care -- if I added support for
using the regular command line options to specify things like the server
name (-server), the from address (-f), user login and password (-u, -pw),
and others?
For example, let us examine the current -install command line:
Blat -install <serverxyz> <emailaddress> <try_count> <port>
<profile_name> <logid_id> <password>
With the normal command line options, a future -install like might look
something like this:
Blat -install -server <serverxyz> -f <emailaddy> -port <portnumber>
-try <try_count> -u <login_id> -pw <password> -p <profile_name>
What does everyone think? Would this make more sense? Is it more easily
understood, or more "intuitive"? Or does it just make matters worse??
Thanks,
Chip
