1. Help !!

OK. This may sound trivial but really, I'm stuck ...
I am using Windows EU program to display some data from specialized equipment.
The equipment has DOS commands which can return the data. Up to now, I've been
"piping"
the data from the DOS command line into files, or the screen ( via more ).
Now I want to "pipe" this into my EuWin program for a better GUI display and
possible
user interaction, logging, sorting, etc.
I have found that I can "pipe" into a EuDOS program ( which reads from standard
input like
using > data=getc(0) < as a the input mechanism ) with no problems. But not so
with a similar type Eu Win program. I then figured, well I'll pipe it into the
EuDOS program, which I can then
share with the Eu WIN program. This is the REAL problem I am trying to solve.
Anyone have any ideas about how to share /pass data from a EuDOS prog into a
EuWIN prog ? I was thinking about using direct mem access, but I have found no
way to put the data from the EuDOS into a specific
mem address location every time, so that the EUWIN could peek into this location
everytime ...
Any ideas outthere ?

The reason why you can't re-direct Windows Euphoria programs, run in EXW,
is that EXW.exe hass a GUI subsystem. This means it will always open a new
window, and cannot be re-directed the same way. In oder to do this, you will
need to change your interpreter to be a Console program. Use the first
program listed here:
