Borland newsgroups dislike crossposting - see sig below.

Borland newsgroups have their own proper server - see sig below - the
Borland experts will not see your post; nor this one.

This seems off-topic for at least one of c.l.p.borland & c.l.p.misc; did
you not read the regular informative posts?


AIUI, the parameter list is transferred in the upper half of the
256-byte PSP, at least for 16-bit programs such as TP/BP generate.  Not,
of course, that you have actually said which Pascal you are trying.

I would code such that if a parameter starts with '@', the rest of it is
the name of a file from which further parameters are now read.
