If you copy the executable to say rakudo_no_terminal.exe and change

How/where do I change this bit?  Hex Edit?

I can see a lot of use for this!!

Do you know of a utility to do that for me?

Perhaps it is "Subsystem" field (inside the "Optional
Header Windows-Specific Fields (Image Only)" record
of

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/pe-format#optional-header-windows-specific-fields-image-only

change 3 (IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_CUI) to 2
(IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_GUI)?

There is a bit in the executable that tells windows to open a terminal.

I'm a fan of Emacs on all my platforms; their solution in Windows is a

How do I open Raku in the background?

[ToddAndMargo via perl6-users]

Hi All,

Windows 10-1909 Pro

raku -v
This is Rakudo version 2020.01 built on MoarVM version
2020.01.1 implementing Perl 6.d.

I am opening Raku from the registry with

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\OpenWithFileAttributes.pl6\command]
@="\"C:\\rakudo\\bin\\raku.exe\" 
\"K:\\Windows\\NtUtil\\FileAttributes.pl6\" \"%1\""


Problem: up pops a big black box with Raku running it in.
Is there a way to rid myself of the big black box?
(I have pops for the information that is reported to
the user.)


Many thanks,
