I am trying to port some console programs to Free-Pascal(they use the
CRT unit and originaly where written for Turbo-Pascal then they were
ported to Virtual-Pascal). I use "MODE OBJFPC". Now I am stumbling over
some problems:
1.) I check for keyboard input with the READKEY function. How can I
avoid that the key STRG-C stops the program? I want to use this key for
the Copy-to-clipboard function. In the manual "CHECKBREAK" is mentioned
but there it also says that it's not used (and setting it to FALSE
doesn't change anything).
2.) Is there a (Free-Pascal) standard function to execute other programs
synchronously AND asynchronously (so that there is no need to change
this code for different platforms)? Or do I have to use WinAPI functions
like CREATEPROCESS for that? Virtual-Pascal had an EXECFLAGS variable
which controlled the behaviour of the EXEC function. Does something
similar exist in Free-Pascal?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Jürgen Hestermann.
