Hi Paul



 PE> Ok Roy, what does this do on your stupid system?

 PE> Paul.



That explains it - you're using an archaic version. The one you

sent (which worked, btw, ta) is version 5.10 by Richard Marks dated

15/1/92, the one I have (and have used before) is version 5.32 by

Richard Marks dated 19/9/94.



Emx isn't anywhere in the path, I've kept it in the local directory.

Here are the results (batchfile redirected to file, file edited

for clarity):



 /*--------*/



REM emx has been renamed to make it unavailable

dir emx*.*

emx2.exe        50511  10/12/95  16:19



REM test run with no emx

zatest io2.c

emx not found



REM make emx available

copy emx2.exe emx.exe

d:\c\indent\emx2.exe => d:\c\indent\emx.exe

     1 file copied



REM test run with emx available

zatest io2.c

argc is 2

arg 1 is io2.c



REM that worked, let's try the real thing

indent io2.c



GNU indent 1.9.1



Usage: indent file [-o outfile] [options]

       indent file1 file2 ... fileN [options]



  -bacc | -nbacc  blank lines around conditionals   (-nbacc)

 

  -T        add  to type keyword list



REM just printed the help screen. io2.c unaffected.





REM just for fun, let's try it with RSX in disguise

del emx.exe

Deleting d:\c\indent\emx.exe

     1 file deleted         57,344 bytes freed

copy rsx.exe emx.exe

d:\c\indent\rsx.exe => d:\c\indent\emx.exe

     1 file copied



REM doesn't work, no DPMI server loaded

zatest io2.c

loader v1.0 : (c) Rainer Schnitker

rsx_32 loader error: No DPMI-host found!



REM this bit done in a different session with QDPMI loaded

zatest io2.c

WARNING: emx 0.9b or later required

argc is 2

arg 1 is io2.c

Now what?



Cheers
