1. Getting the Error code
How can I retrieve the error code of a DOS pgm invoked by
a euphoria pgm. E.g.
system("pe3test",2)
...
if ErrorLevel=2 then
....
I have a DOS pgm that will only communicate back to me via error
code. I can do something kludgy like invoking the DOS pgm from
a BAT & checking the errorlevel there - then writing a DOS file
that my E-pgm can find. I am hoping for something a bit more
elegant.
Thanks for the help

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this at present. The WATCOM C
routine that system() calls does not return a useful error code to Euphoria.

This is probably your best bet.
I'll make a note of this problem. I don't
see any "quick fix" for this one.
