ZZ> All that Visual C++ needs is a back door into DOS+Windows to let it run separate sessions and capture their output. A VDD could well be written to acheive this using DosStartSession and some judicious use of named pipes. All that you need is for Microsoft to release the undocumented API in their VxD that Visual Workbench uses ... ZZ> > Has anybody done or at least tried to do this yet? ZZ> No. Most people using Visual C++ get by with simply running NMAKE by hand. > JdeBP < ___ X MegaMail 2.10 #0: --- Maximus/2 2.02* Origin: DoNoR/2,Woking UK (44-1483-725167) (2:440/4) SEEN-BY: 105/42 620/243 711/401 409 410 413 430 807 808 809 934 955 712/407 SEEN-BY: 712/515 628 704 713/888 800/1 7877/2809 @PATH: 440/4 141/209 270/101 105/103 42 712/515 711/808 809 934 |
