I have been playing around with Gulam and MWC for quite some time, but
I cannot seem to get the right setting for env_style for use with MWC.
If I set the env_style to "gu", then I seem to be getting just the
command tail, and no argv[0] which I would get if I was getting MWC
style arguments.
If I set the env_style to "mw" or "bm", then all of the arguments show
up as one argument. Looking at the environment, I do find an ARGV=
entry, but the value is just NULL.
One side effect of all this is that when I use the MWC cc, it thinks
that I'm compiling from the desktop, so I have to press return after
every cc command, a logical thing for it to do, but very annoying.
Can someone tell me how I should be setting env_style, or if there is
some patch that needs to be made to gulam itself? It just seems as if
gulam is using an older style of ARGV. I am using gulam version
1.00.00.02 (110287) and MWC version 2.0. Is there a newer version of
gulam?
Thanks

I have the same problem. Could someone post a solution? I think that I've seen one before, but that was before I began using GULAM, so I didn't bother keeping it in storage (my brain is of limited capacity, so I tend to de-allocate things rather quickly :-) I too have an older version of MW (although I hope that my v3.0 will arrive in the mail soon), and v1.00.00.02 of GULAM. Thanks for any information leading to a solution of this problem. Tom Wolf Tom Wolf ARPA (I think): tw@cscosl.ncsu.edu or wolf@csclea.ncsu.edu

This is a variable used by the cc program and msh to tell where it came from (obviously). If it doesn't find 'camefrom' in the environment, it assumes 'camefrom=desktop'.

If 'gulam' doesn't work, try 'msh'. How very strange. I have been running MWC with my own shell, from version 1 right up to the latest beta that I got of version 3, and I have neither had this problem, nor have I ever set (or was aware of) a "camefrom" variable. A scanning of the Lexicon entries for "msh" and "cc" yields no mention of this variable, or of any other thing that might cause "cc" to decide whether to wait for a return after it is finished. I note that if even if I *do* set 'camefrom=desktop' (or CAMEFROM=DESKTOP, or CAMEFROM=desktop, or camefrom=DESKTOP'), "cc" *still* runs as it ought to from a shell, i.e. it does not wait for a return after it is done. Perhaps this "camefrom" thing is only one of the cues that it uses. There is also the special "_iovector" encoding (look up crts0 in the Lexicon). The _iovector value tells what devices the standard i/o streams are attached to. I wonder if Gulam sets this up properly? -mm- -- Mark E. Mallett PO Box 4188/ Manchester NH/ 03103 Bus.

I recall having this problem but don't see it anymore. Are you using gulam
v1.03? Have you "set env_style mw"?

Could someone post the address of an ftp'able site that has Gulam v1.03?
