Hi Ross,

I tried this and got an error. Here's the output:

Apache Forrest.  Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options

The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\opt\forrest0.6>=20


Even if this did work, IMO, it is not very intuitive. The way things
worked in v0.5.1 was much easier and similar to other Apache projects
like Ant and Maven. I'd recommend trying to make it more user-friendly.
I'm personally going to stick w/ 0.5.1 for now.

Regards,
Ian
