C:\> poly.exe < poly_files.txt

in a CMD program (or COMMAND or whatever the console program is called nowadays at Win* systems).

Tried piping the input as suggested but POLY ignores the pipe and just asks me for the names of the files as if we were in interactive mode.

That suggests POLY is not reading from stdin.
Could it be a curses program or similar - ie it is directly accessing
the screen? Does it use a form or is it a simple command line prompt?
