That would not help in this case. Think about the problem and you
will see why.

OK, I'll tell you why. Wrapper scripts don't help in the face of
egregious error.

Perhaps you should be specific with your suggestion. "Maybe a wrapper
script" is about as useful as advice as "maybe a program to help
you". Could you elucidate precisely what sort of "wrapper script" you
have in mind, and precisely how you believe it would help, and
precisely how that would ameliorate egregious error?

On Vista+ I believe you can use mklink instead of a batch file.

I was going to call mine javaci, but this may fall into the egrigulous

The error the OP made. Duhh.

Now, how about responding to the request for details instead of
continuing with vague, indirect, fairly unhelpful responses?

I'm sorry, I use Thunderbird and eternal-september
and for some reason I can see that you have replied
but I cannot see the body of your message or reply to it.

I've retrieved some context from Google Groups and
copy/pasted, and will reply to it here.

No, thanks. I'll await a request from the OP for clarification.

It'll be interesting to see how the OP can clarify your point, but all
right. I'll grab some popcorn and a beer; this should be fun.
