- Hi
-
- Is there a idea for the following problem:
-
- I use program for a interpreter, which should do Wimppolling.
-
- If the interpreter fails (cause no memory left or the like), it prints a
- message to vdu:
-
- I want to catch such a message (the wimp will not show it) and a commandwindow
- will not survive the initialisation of the wimp)
-
- If i try to catch the message with a pipe { > output } the desktop
- goes dark (with a few icons) and the wimppoll will write into the file
- and there is no multitasking
-
- If i try to catch the message with spool, all actions in the wimp will
- logged into the outputfile (which may increase to big) (This will also
- take time (especially on a diskette based system))
-
- In my opinion, we need a errorstream (something like { 2> })
-
- so long

-
- ps: I use Riscos 2.0, the interpreter is iconx
