### TTARGS

This program may help if your shell or command interpreter plays tricks on your quoting or special characters when typing a command. It simply prints the command and its arguments as delivered to a program. For example:

    ttargs here is a "less than char: <"

prints:

    argc == 5
    argv[0] == #C:\BIN32\TTARGS.EXE#
    argv[1] == #here#
    argv[2] == #is#
    argv[3] == #a#
    argv[4] == #less than char: <#

Don't worry about the argc and argv stuff, it's what's between the #'s that matters.

### TTRC

This program prints the return code of a program invokation. For example:

    ttrc tcols from xxx

prints:

    --- TTRC running command: tcols from xxx $1
    tcols: No such file or directory
    tcols: Can't open "xxx" for reading - exiting
    --- TTRC completed, result code from tcols: 104 (Error: failed to open file)

ttrc can be used on non-TextTools programs too, but the success/warning/error explanation will not make sense, only the return code.
