# Readme
## Introduction
This is very simple Windows command line utility for opening applications. It
actually triggers the same actions as double-click on the corresponding file
in a folder window.
In some shells other than `cmd.com` (e.g. Cygwin, MSYS, MSYS2 and others),
launching a GUI application blocks the shell until the given application
is terminated.
In such environments, user can use this utility to open them indirectly:
```
$ open notepad.exe
```
