If it's a executable file, a ".exe" file, you can launch it in this
way, "xxx.exe < input.txt". The text file "input.txt" will be
considered as the standard input.
But when I use this trick on python, it doesn't work. The only way to
do so is like this "python xxx.py < input.txt". But this method
Sounds pretty close to old-style BASIC
