How does one use a "GS Shell Application" like the gs microEmacs? What programs are available that will run these? Anything shareware? thanks for info, dave -- David Pirmann pirmann@rutgers.edu Rutgers LCSR Operations pirmann@njin.BITNET

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 <<>> /|

I don't have it, but when I wrote DiskCopy I had people bugging me to make it take arguments so it would work with pro-sel. First I put a cheap prompt in it, now it supports both arguments and finder messages (so will LHG, since I did it in the .ROOT file and just have to link it in...)

(it does, but Emacs doesn't have to...) ECP-16 is shareware and works just fine, but not with APW programs. For whatever reason, the APW C argument reading stuff doesn't catch arguments from shells like ECP and ProSel-16. Supposedly Orca code works just fine with them. >|/ Tim Meekins <<>> Snail Mail: <<>> Apple II \| -- fadden@cory.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) ..!ucbvax!cory!fadden fadden@hermes.berkeley.edu (when cory throws up)

This is because the APW startup code ignores the command line if the shell identifier isn't BYTEWRKS. Orca, however, just lets you blow chunks if the shell isn't present and you try to call it.
