[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] My own command line interface

seymour@dgbt.doc.ca (Seymour Shlien DGBT/DIP) (10/04/90)

  I am writing my own shell program in Sozobon C. (I want it
to be less than 20 K on my 1040Ste Ram Disk and have the features
I want.)

  I can execute another ttp or tos file from this shell
using the Pexec command; however if that ttp program crashes it
also crashes my shell program returning the system back to GEM.
If I run the same ttp program program on another shell (eg Gulam)
it still crashes but it returns back to Gulam so I can see
any of my printouts.

  Can anybody tell me what other setup I must do so that I still
return to my shell program in event of a fundamental error in
my new program. Sample C code or the source code of a public domain
shell program would be helpful.
