ee.ex expects to be in the current directory and wants to load its includes
and fonts.
If you bind it, it will at least load, but without the nice new dos-font.
You could edit the code, that's what I did with a previous version, to
detect its directory. (and go to there, after everything is loaded, go back
to the old directory)
Here's a bit of pseudo-code
-- Check command_line () Does it contain any directory ? (only the 2nd
argument)
-- If not then the right directory is the current one, (or else the
program could not have been loaded)
-- Always save the current directory into a sequence
-- Include everything you want, load your font
-- Restore back to the old directory
this could be expended by:
-- when you supply a filename at the command_line (3rd argument or 4th
or 5th, etc)
-- Try the given path, if no path is given try the current, if that
doesn't work either try the program (ee.ex)'s directory, and at last, try
all directories in environ("PATH")
Maybe a very nice suggestion, David Cuny ?
I wish I still had the code, but it was overwritten by a new version of your
textGUI. (and editor)
