Anything shareware? > The most obvious is answer is to say that you need a shell to run them. The only true shell that I know of is the Orca/APW shell available from Byteworks. Since there are *some* shell applications that don't use commands line arguments, you can use several other shells that have been written such as Davex (I'm assuming it will launch EXE files). The ProSel shell will also probably launch the EXE file. Just remember, ONLY Orca will allow command line parameters, and I believe uEmacs uses command line arguments. Note, there is a shell under development which will emulate the Orca shell and additionally allow multitasking. More information in the far future. -- +---------------------------S-U-P-P-O-R-T-----------------------------------+ |/ Tim Meekins <<>> Snail Mail: <<>> Apple II \| |> meekins@cis.ohio-state.edu <<>> 8372 Morris Rd. <<>> Forever! <| |\ timm@pro-tcc.cts.com <<>> Hilliard, OH 43026 <<>> /|
