Yes this stuff could be very complicated ;-) If have put now (as long promised) an updated RunSync.exe on my webspace that support silent calling. Get it at: http://www.dirk-heiser.de/runsync.zip The changes are: -its now an console application and no longer an gui app without an windows. That mean Windows open the console Window and not the runsync.exe -It check for the "plkr-nonag" environment variable. Set to true and it will never prompt for an keypress. It overwrite the ini setting. -It check for the "plkr-timeout" environment variable. Set the time in seconds after that the program will terminate. To test this download the zip and copy the updated RunSync.exe to the plucker directory. The RunSyncStub.exe could be placed to any directory and it is used to call RunSync from environments that does not allow to control the calling process. Call "RunSyncStub.exe <DBHANDLE>" (for example: "RunSyncStub.exe Default") and the RunSync will be called without console window and plkr-nonag set to true. (I will enhance this tool later, but for now it should be fine) Branko> -is bmp2tbmp required for win installation to work?

You can use the PIL image parser, but you loose some features compared with the WindowsPIL Image parser. cu, Dirk -- Permanent URLs to the latest Version (1.1.13) of the Plucker Windows installer - For the Webpage: http://www.dirk-heiser.de/plucker - Direct Download: http://www.dirk-heiser.de/plucker/plucker.exe [2.08MB]
