I am trying to use file name as a parameter to a program in DOS.
I know it can be done by changing the parameter to the main().
I do not understand the exact way.
I have developed a data compression and decompression utility, it works for a particular file name but I want to make it more user friendly.
Looking forward to get some help.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])?
If so, google: c++ int main parameters for more info.

or a better search term is: command line arguments
