Sorry,

My eyes must have travelled down to the other bug number I had on the screen.

Subject: bug 3192 - write to process on OS X

Hi folks,

As Monday is the deadline for people contacting Bill with votes for outstanding bugs, I'd just like to say that if anyone has votes left, then this one is a good candidate.

There are times when the shell() function is simply not adequate in interacting with command-line programs. Some of these programs e.g. the various isql shells, are interactive, so they need 'write to process' and 'read from process'. The Rev docs just tell us to use shell() on OS X, but that is simply not enough. There is simply no workaround for this particular bug, so I feel it really should be fixed.

These features work on Windows, but not on OS X. Here we have a unix with tons of command line programs that we can write lush GUIs for, except we can't have this kind of interaction on OS X without this bug being squashed.

Bernard
