Command Line Programs

Getting started with command line programs is probably as easy as it gets in SIMPOL, from a purely programming perspective. There are a number of examples to show the ropes. Command line programs can take up to 10 parameters (currently), and can output their results. They do not have access to typical command line features like stdin, stdout, and stderr, but can still accomplish goals and return results. For an in-depth look at creating a command line program, see Chapter 4, Command Line Programs.
