Thanks, Windows doesn't have it's own convention? Like maybe none of the
above?

Well, I don't know that it is written in stone anywhere, but the notation
using slashes (/) is more common than the one with dashes (-).

Take the dir command for example. If you type

dir /ah

you'll get a listing of files with the hidden attribute. If you type

dir -ah

you'll get a "File not found" message.

When I retired I was using VAXes
What happened to them.

DEC crashed and burned.

Is VMS still alive?

I think that there may still be something called OpenVMS around but I know
nothing about it. You may want to try googling for it.

I always like the user interface of VMS

Well, you can't go wrong with an o/s designed by David Cutler. IMO, his
have been the best there is since the 70s - RSX 11/M, VAX/VMS, Windows NT.

Will
