Hi All, I've found an *.exe file that runs (D7 / Vista) in DOS mode like a batch file command. When running, it gives a prompt and stops.
1. I could execute it as a batch job and pipe the input and output, if I can figure out how to do that in old DOS command language. 2. But that would mean loading the *.exe for each call, executing it, managing the interface pipes and process contexts; Isn't there a way I can put it into my D7 source program as a resource of some kind, or load it once and link it up that way somehow? If it would only load once, when the program starts. Each time the *.exe runs, it could make a copy of itself to run and destroy the answer when completed. Suggestions appreciated, -Rich Sincerely, Rich Cooper EnglishLogicKernel.com Rich AT EnglishLogicKernel DOT com _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
