1. EXU puts ?
--
In linux it possible to have more than one terminal window
open at once. If you use the PUTS() how do you know which terminal
window is going to receive the output. Is there a way to get the
fn number for a specific terminal window ?
Thanks in advance
Bernie

you could always open a eu file handle to what ever /dev/tty*
you want to use and "puts" everything through that file handle.
<untested example>
atom my_tty
my_tty = open("/dev/tty3", "w" )
puts( my_tty, "Sending to tty3\n" )
close( my_tty )
<end untest>

Euphoria is going to use the term from which the program was run. You can
open another tty as a file, but this will only work if you are running as root,
which is a bad bad idea. (Users don't have write permissions to most (all?)
devices.
atom tty
tty = open("/dev/tty3","w")
if tty > 0 then
puts(tty,"Hello, Joe!\n")
end if
If you have more serious communicating to do between processes, see Pete's
sockets code, or set up a fifo. Two programs can read and write to the fifo.
See attached fifo client/server code.

Well Bernie, In linux there are terminals as tty1 to ttyn (where n= digit as
1,2,3,etc) But you must first declare the socket from /dev/ttyn (n=number)
Try puts(tty2, "Text")
I hope this works because I dont use EU on linux anymore.
Thanks
