1. CGI and bound .exw

Dear List
I'm using bound .exws for CGI processing, using a derivate of Stachon's
(?spelling?) cgi.e.
Is there any way of telling a bound .exw not to open up a console window
even if you do a 'puts( 1, ... )'? As it stands, even with the use of
free_console(), the server gets a dose of the flashes every time someone
clicks on a CGI link.
Something on the lines of
without console
would be great. I suppose with the feature set of 2.3 already set in
concrete I'll just have to put up with it until 2.4. Rob?

This issue keeps coming up, and then the person
discovers that his Web server software will let him
write the HTML output to a file, rather than standard output,
so he's content.
I'd like to do something about it, but I seem to recall there's some
sort of complication. Maybe one of the several
people with the source will give it a shot.

Hello again,
Assuming your prog is in windows and you run a program via systemexec you could
send a messge to the window being opened SW_HIDE and NO (0) console
window will appear
or, simply specify in your program when you create your main window to SW_HIDE
which in turn will not show that particular window but allow you to still show
subwindows for error messages and the likes. Make sure to specify not to hide
those.
Maybe Im totaly wrong and probably will be proven wrong since Im not doing CGI
work
but this is what comes to mind right off.
