Mark Wieder touched on a subject recently dear to my heart when he wrote:
...and we used to be have that ability, before it was nixed in rev 4.0
or something. I used to create little stack apps to do tasks and run
them from the commandline with the -f option. Made for a nice
alternative to perl or <insert another tool here>.
Now I do that with ruby. Another market niche lost to LiveCode.
IIRC, -f was to prevent file access, yes?
Is there a way that using secureMode might work for what you need?
If not, is there any chance we might get -f reinstated? It does seem a
very useful flag to be able to pass to the engine.
