Very relieved that you're totally onto it, Dave and Seb. It's really shaping up now, looking professional, and the benefit of having freenet.exe in C instead of assembler is inestimable.
IMO - if javaw is a hassle - it's quite acceptable practice to keep using console java, and write code which hides the console window and senses and closes the silly terminate dialog. as long as user doesn't see that shit, it's cool Let me know when you want another cruel thrash-test :) David ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Hooper" <[email protected]> To: <devl at freenetproject.org> Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 10:51 Subject: [freenet-devl] Javaw.exe vs. Java.exe > Ok, well, as an experiment I tried the 0.3.9.1-2 on a colleague's laptop > running Windows ME and indeed discovered that a weird dialog box pops up > saying "This program cannot be terminated...(etc)" when you Stop Freenet or > after you click OK or Cancel on Configure. > The reason I chose to use java.exe instead of javaw.exe was because I > couldn't find a clean way to shut down the node if it was running within > javaw.exe.
