Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Can someone allocate 2 command line switches for php cli on NetWare?
From: kingwez@gmail.com (Wez Furlong)

Doesn't netware have a standard wait or pause utility for this kind of thing?

It feels like PHP is the wrong place to add this kind of option; why
should every application that runs on netware include code to open a
screen?  Why should every application that runs on netware include
press-any-key code?

Surely it is better to port a real shell and put the netware code in
there instead?
