I'm using rsxntdj 1.5 with
Reading specs from c:/tools/gnu/rsxntdj/lib/specs
gcc driver version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) executing gcc version 2.8.1

I am playing with an editor program, and I started making it create libs
from .o files.  During developement I show the command line I am
shelling out to "....\ar.exe rcs libdelta.a  Appver.o .... version.o"
which works fine if I copy and paste it to the Win95 command line, but
when shelling out, AR reports an error 'unknown option e'

I am using the Win32api CreateProcess() to shell out - which is working
fantastic for GCC compiling and linking, as well as the resource
compiler - so it seems it is particular to AR.

Any thoughts?  Does AR recognize a @batch file?

Thanks.
