This program will split one of the command line parameters of the batch
file. It works in DOS system or console. Its cutting character
defaults the period '.' so that it splits a filename parameter into its
name and its type (extension). If the third parameter is 'test.asm',
the command 'CUTPARAM 3' will set the third parameter to 'test' and
insert a 4th parameter 'asm'. The former 4th and following parameters
are shifted to the 5th and following ones. You can choose any other
cutting character for example a '_' to split a parameter like
'proj_001.prj' into 'proj' and '001.prj'.

CutParam can be handy for those who use command line compilers, linkers,
installation or backup batch processes, etc., or those who would like to
extend the automatic effect of some extension linked application
starter. You do not need to supply your filename manually without a
*.BAT file extension if it was asked to.

If you call cutParam in a batch file you can cut this extension off and
use the name of the file without the extension to produce other files
with the same name but with other extension(s). You can also use the
extension alone to perform extension dependant process.

Special requirements: None.
