Starting a process without the DOS box
I needed to start a process which had it's own window (a Perl/Tk app called diffbl.pl which I have yet to document over on ClearSCM). I want to start this process and not have that silly DOS window hanging around. Normally I'd use Cygwin's run.exe but I cannot be assured that Cygwin will be on the users Windows box. How to start a windowed application sans the DOS box?
set sh = wscript.createobject ("wscript.shell")
sh.run "cqperl \\hcu-g97pnd1\Software\diffbl\bin\diffbl.pl", 0, false
