Full source included.
You may even include the source code, modified or unmodified
in free/commercial open source/proprietary programs that you write and distribute.
May be used freely for any purpose but military.
For more details on this restriction, see

All C source and EXE files code are included.

----

Prerequisites:

This program runs under Microsoft Windows from the command line (e.g. Win2K/XP/Vista)

----

Installing on a PC:

Download source and executable files to run on your own machine as a standalone utility.
To install, extract the zip download with WinZip
(or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please,
often J:\ --  ticking off the "use folder names" option.

----

Installing on a MacIntosh:

Use Safari to download source and executable files to run on your own machine as a standalone utility.
The EXE files will not work. You will have to recompile, perhaps making minor changes to the source code.
Safari will automatically unpack the zip into ~/Downloads (version 10.5)
[or on the Desktop (version 10.4 and earlier)].
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
You may optionally move the download tree to a permanent home.

----

Rebuilding:

The zip already contains the necessary exe, so unless you modify
the program, there is no need to recompile the source or recompile it.
Configure.java basedir="E:/" in rebuild.xml to the drive where your files are and tweak rebuild.xml.
Use ANT and rebuild.xml, not build.xml, to rebuild and link.

----

Use:

CONFIRM Ask user for Yes/No confirmation,

Used in a bat file to set errorlevel to 0 if user answers Y,
or 1 if N.

  @echo off
  echo Do you really want to do this dangerous thing?
  confirm.com
  If ERRORLEVEL 1 GoTo NO
  GoTo YES

Note, no parameters or messages go on the confirm command line itself.

There are two versions included, both with source:

ASSEMBLER version confirm.com that works in 
DOS/W3.1/W95/W98/Me/NT/W2K/XP/W2K3/Vista/W7-32 

and a 32-bit C version confirm.exe that works in 
W95/W98/Me/NT/W2K/XP/W2K3/Vista/W7-32/W7-64 

Use the confirm.com version except for Windows 7 64-bit.  It is smaller 
and faster.  

However, the confirm.exe version also looks for SET confirm=y or SET 
confirm=n.  If it sees it, the user does not need to key anything.  It 
acts as if the user had hit the Y or N.
