Same way, read from the socket. If the shellscript or perl program can't, make a small pascal cmdline utiitlity that can. > Also, I have been looking for a simple text IDE like the all TP.

FPC has a full blown TP clone, however it is currently not maintained, and therefore not as good as it should be, specially on *NIX, which is why it is usally not included. (some versions include it as "fp") We are still seeking a serious maintainer. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
