What is a wrapper script?

[Steven Monai]

Since you're running MS4W, you could try a wrapper script that I wrote in
PHP. It works well for me on Windows 2000 & MS4W. Unfortunately, I think
it's too large (currently 740 lines) to quote here. If you are interested, I
can email it to you off-list.

Thank you for your reply.

I'm using Windows XP. Thus I can not use the shell script. Do you have an
idea which scripting language I should use. Some people tell me that I need
to use perl, but the MS4W does not have perl support. Is that right? Thanks
again.
