Dear Frantisek,

Attacked is a gzip'd tar file with a simple program to do this, but
re-named .dat instead of .tgz as we use Google mail and it is too stupid
to allow compressed executables to be emailed.
Save to a Linux box and then re-name, then the usual arcive manager or
tar can extract the files.
It creates a file dosenv.txt in the working directory and prints out the
calling arguments and the environment to that file. If you have a C
compiler (I used Microsoft's C6.0 DOS compiler from around 1988) you
could modify this program to do other things (e.g. date/time based file
names if they fit the 8.3 limit of DOS, etc)
Regards,
Paul
