RE: GUI vs. Console subsystem -- any danger?

Fabulous! Thanks a lot Andy.

This tiny utility removes what i held for a stain in the face of Euphoria.
Tinkering your own command line utilities with piping and redirections that work
on the NT family platform (NT, 2K, XP) is now possible!

For those who spent the few bucks to register you just have to run the setsubsys
utility with /C on your bound proggy. For the others, just make a copy of exw.exe
(e.g. to exw-c.exe) and do the same as above on that copy.

Now suppose you have written a utility taking the output of a /dir command as
input. After having converted it (or the interpreter) to a console app with
setsubsys /C,  you can do things like:

dir | myApp.exe > output.txt
or
dir | exw-c myApp.exw > output.txt

which was completely impossible before (see f.i. the mails from Ray Smith and
Derek Parnell with the subject " Input redirection in exw ")

Folks! You know what? I'm happy :D
