Hi Tommi,

On 2025-07-13 10:07:21, you wrote to me:

I've thought about that.

But on linux that is not usual. The / is used in paths. So it's difficult to
distinguish between options and paths that start with a /.

And for the windows version I decided to keep backwards compatibility and not
change the behaviour from / to - for options, so not to break peoples existing
batch files...

(And I haven't implemented supporting both just on Windows)


Bye, Wilfred.
