> Compatibility with Delphi. With Delphi, you only get a console window if you do one of two things (other than create one yourself, that is..)
1) You explicitly compile as a console app. *Any* GUI app can be compiled as a 'console app.. This is done through a command line switch, IDE option (project options) or by a compiler directive. 2) You spawn a subprocess that opens one and don't ask the console to be hidden. I personally think the proplem is one of naming (Borlands fault) and that it should be "GUI with no standard I/O" and "Console/GUI with Console Window". There is of course a *third* mode I think is missing. This is the one most C/C++ apps have if you include stdio.h or iostream[.h]... That is a standard I/O mapped, no console opened. If you run *in* a console you see the output, but if you run via Explorer, you don't. Useful for debugging IMHO. From what I understand with this conversation, the rewrite creates this mode.... Hmmm useful ;-) Matt _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
