Subject: Strange ´Options´ in Chest319 ? (maybe for Dann Corbit?)

Author: F. Huber

I have troubles with ´Chest319´:

Chest doesn´t show the option I gave, but always shows the filename
of the input file instead. If I set the options with the environment
variable CHEST_OPTS, it shows: Options = (null).

Is this a bug in Chest, or is my Windows98 the reason for this
strange behaviour (because Chest is compiled for WinNT)?
Or am I making anything wrong in calling Chest with options?

I hope anyone can help me,
Franz.


I call:  chest319 -LSr problem >solution

and get the file ´solution´:

CHEST version 3.19, 18-Dec-1999
Options = problem   <===================== look at this!
