Is it not possible for you to include the C code as a LiveCode external rather
than write a separate program?

Hello Andrew
It all depends on what you mean by a command line utility. Do you mean a
built-in command line utility (such as dir/w) or a program you have written?

Hello,
I have the need to run a command line utility from LiveCode without writing
it to disk. Ideally I would like to store it in a custom property and find
a way to run it in memory without ever writing it to a disk. Is this at all

Maybe you have another button "check" that is hiding somewhere and getting
checked, maybe right underneath the one you see. I accidentally made something
like that yesterday by accidentally option-dragging. Check the Project Browser
