There are some old tests that still use hb_run as "__hrbrun".
Moreover we now have an util called hbrun which is more an "hrbrun".
Sorry for the "word game", but I was looking for the differences
between __RUN and HB_RUN and it took me a while to get the right info
so this may confuse users too.
I was looking for it because I need to start an harbour app "in
background". Under Unix is as easy as add an "&" at the end of the
string but under Win you need sth like WinExec to achieve the same
result.
I wonder if instead of using sth like:
#if __PLATFORM__WINDOWS
WinExec( CmdStr )
#else
__RUN( CmdStr + " &" )
#endif
we could add a second parameter to HB_RUN like "fore/back" to get a
more elegant solution ( even because WinExec is not in std libs ).
best regards,
Lorenzo
