Yes, I too spent many hours buggin' telval on W2k and finally gave up and have
since started the C++ version, but... it's very far from completion.  Just
don't have near enough time to finish it right now.

As we have both concluded the problem is something related to the way the W2K
command processor interprets the SMBUTIL command line.  It's either the "<" in
the command line or possible some of the command line specifiers, but I'm
pretty sure they are already translated before cmd.exe sees them so that
should not be the problem.  Maybe Rob has some ideas, and maybe he can even
look at it now since he's got a W2K box running there.

Hehe... yeah the first time I did it was kinda scary but now I've got it down
to a science :-)
