- Has anyone ever used the NP_Arguments tag using CreateNewProc or
- CreateNewProcTags. The Bantam dos manual makes reference to needing to put the
- length of the argument string in one register and the pointer to it in another.
- This makes no sense as the registers would hold info based on the
- CreateNewProc call and not on the specific tags you did or did not happen to
- specify--these are on the stack. At any rate, I'm programming in C and just
- can not understand what they're getting at, wouldn't it be more logical to
- specify the CLI arguments when creating a new process as follows:
- NP_Arguments, "these are the arguments to be passed", TAG_DONE....
