Speaking of hbmk2, which has a -run/-hbrun functionality, above configurable method seems to defeat the whole purpose of these option (namely to launch target executable in a _simple_ way). What do you recommend as a simple, default, commonly working launch method for hbmk2, which sort of works like 'start' and 'open' in other operating system? (keeping in mind, that an app can be GUI, CUI and cmdline) Brgds, Viktor _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
