I understood. Thank you.
I'm sorry but would you please uncomment it when you make
a Windows package? This code is not used on UNIX.
Presence or absence of a security hole seems to be dependent
on the specification (syntax) of Windows shell. Since I'm
not conversant about it, I'd overlook a security hole in
the future. I prefer not to entrust GLOBAL's fate to Microsoft.
