i tried it .. but doesn't work.
the script bails out saying that the switch is not correct.
i've also tried /net and -net (since docs here and there
don't agree on
switch sintax) but it doesn't work. this is what i meant (but
now that i
re-read it i realize it wasn't clearly expressed) 'there's no
way to pass
the switch to the .bin file'
thank you anyway
