Hi Tentaclius,

Welcome to newLisp, the best programming language on earth!

The answer to your question is: YES, you can.

Furthermore, instead of using '!' to launch a binary, you may also use '(process)', which has an option to hide the application window.

Cheers
Peter

Also you can recompile newLisp with MinGW, and modify the makefile with the linkerflag '-mwindows'. Then there will be no DOSbox when running a newLisp program.

You can also consider to use the DLL-version of newLISP which you can embed in every other popular programming language. (with/without GUI).

Code: Select all

(import "kernel32.dll" "FreeConsole")
(FreeConsole)

this code works for me... it hides console window when you want.
just add this as first two lines of your script

Folks,

The RUN-wrapper has been improved. Now processes started with 'run.exe' can be terminated with 'stop.exe'. For details look here:

Also additional processes spawned by the executed newLisp programs (similar to Unix "child-processes") will be terminated, to keep your processlist clean.

Enjoy

Peter

It must be in Tips&Tricks (IMHO)?

More precise - in "Code_Snippets"
