I've always wondered if there was a way to find out all switches allowable
within a command. Not being a technical programmer, and not knowing *how* a
switch is actually handled, I theorize that the switch label (like dir /p)
must still be within the program as recognizable ASCII code, no? -I mean in
order to make a match. And, therefore, it is somehow identifiable. The
only other way I get to know of *undocumented* switches is by someone
telling me or by going to a guru DOS website like:
http://members.aol.com/axcel216/secrets.htm
Can anyone elaborate if there is a way to identify all allowable switches or
explain why it cannot be done? (and I don't mean using the /? switch) I
used to experiment by trying out a command with every available single
letter switch but this can't be one with word switches! -Bill

I've wondered from time to time if there's a comprehensive list anywhere of
command-line switches which make programs do what (publicly, at least)
they're not supposed to do.
This could start from the old DOS Setup and Expand commands (though I've
forgotten what the switches are), and go up to the SETUP /MN command for
WinME, which lets you install it if you don't have a P166 or higher.
Is there a list like this? If not, could we put one together?
