Hi all,
I've been using Euphoria 2.4 for a long time successfully with the
ConTEXT editor on Windows 98. In ConTEXT I chose the option "Capture
console output", and I associated my .EXW programs with EXW.EXE.
This works fine, normal program output is captured by ConTEXT,
Euphoria's error messages are shown in a separate console window.
Recently I wanted to use Euphoria at work on Windows XP. Using EXW.EXE,
ConTEXT doesn't capture normal program output, but error messages are
shown like on Windows 98. Using EXWC.EXE, normal program output is
captured like on Windows 98, but error messages are not shown!
The full picture is given here (concerning ConTEXT 0.97.5):
interpreter | command | Win 98 | Win XP |
------------+---------+--------------------+--------------------+
| ? 1 | output is | output is not |
| | captured | captured, process |
| | | terminates |
| | | automatically |
exw.exe +---------+--------------------+--------------------+
2.4 | ? 1* | output is not | output is not |
| | captured, a | captured, a |
| | console window | console window |
| | pops up that | pops up that |
| | shows the error | shows the error |
| | message | message |
------------+---------+--------------------+--------------------+
| ? 1 | output is | output is |
| | captured | captured |
exwc.exe +---------+--------------------+--------------------+
2.4 | ? 1* | output is not | output is not |
| | captured, process | captured, process |
| | doesn't terminate! | doesn't terminate |
| | | automatically, a |
| | | "Terminate" button |
| | | is displayed |
------------+---------+--------------------+--------------------+
It looks as if I can't reasonably use Eu 2.4 and ConTEXT on Win XP!!
Are there other experiences concerning Eu 2.4, ConTEXT and Win XP?
How do other editors behave in this regard?
ConTEXT captures normal output and error messages of e.g. the Lua 5.0.2
interpreter on Win 98 and Win XP as expected. I would appreciate it, if
EXWC.EXE 2.5 would work the same way.

So are you capturing error messages and sending them to the editor (like
setting the cursor to the line causing the error)? I didn't have much
luck with that the first time I tried so I just decided to associate the
next 'exec key' with opening ex.err in notepad.
I'll have to look into this again to see if I can come up with anything.

I'm just capturing the console output. I have no influence on what
actually will be captured. That seems to depend on the Windows version.
I just want to _see_ all output -- normal output and error messages, I
do not (try to) set the cursor to the line causing the error.

Running my programs with EXWC.EXE (instead of EXW.EXE), this might work
on Win XP. I'll try it out and tell you what happens on my system,
thanks!!
