Hello!
I was wondering if there is a utility or a method to controlling
a (graphics-heavy) program via a script.
The program is called Trim-90, and what I do is copy the appropriate
config file, start the program, hit "o", "o", "n", wait a half hour or
so, then hit "space","t","d","space","q","y","d". At this point, the
program exits, I archive the files it made, then I copy the next config
file over and start the program again.
I am trying to figure out a way to run the damn thing without me needing
to pop by every 1/2 to enter a set of identical keystrokes. However, I do
not know how to have a script file enter the keystrokes within the program.
Any help, advice, pointers to utilities, suggestions of C code would be
appreciated. The program itself runs only on an ibm-type with math
coprocessor and VGA card, we use 386 machines for it.
Thanks! sandy
