OK:

1. Works

2. Sugg: use 8+3 UPPERCASE filenames

3. Lack of user-friendliness (obviously mostly from original source): should write a bit more ("This is for COMPAQT's only, seems you have none", "DMIDECODE 8.34 by blah | DOS port compiled by bttr 2008-03-15", ...), list options, rather than just silently abort or "bad commandline"
