+ * programs (including MS-DOS console based programs and batch
+ * files) on Window 95 and Windows 98.
+ *
+ * This program is to be launched with redirected standard
+ * handles. It will launch the command line specified 16-bit
+ * console based application in the same console, forwarding
+ * it's own redirected standard handles to the 16-bit child.
+
+ * AKA solution to the problem described in KB: Q150956.
