Ideally get_hspeak_version would not use SHELL at all on Windows, because it momentarily pops up a console window, which is both ugly and has a chance of causing both gfx_sdl and gfx_directx to see a stuck key (I strongly recommend not using SHELL on Windows). gfx_directx is fixable, but it's a bug in SDL. gfx_fb is not affected. Anyway a function which uses winapi magic to run a program and return its output would be nice. It could be built on top of open_piped_process, but that won't work in win 9x. Piping the output directly to a file handle instead of a pipe would be simpler and I think more portable. _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
