RE: Telnet friendly App
Hello Nick,
Just off the top of my head...
I gather that your handheld devices can telnet to the ATAMAN telnet server
and run a DOS Euphoria based service without a problem. Your issue is that
from DOS you can't get access to certain DLL functions because DLL's can
only be accessed from Windows Euphoria. But Windows Euphoria doesn't work
as a service with the ATAMAN telnet server.
How about having you DOS Euphoria program call a separate Windows Euphoria
program to perform the DLL stuff? You will have to come up with a way to
pass parameters from the DOS Euphoria code to the Windows Euphoria code.
Also if you want results back you'll have to come up with something for
that as well. Putting the information into temporary "in" and "out" type
files might be one way although I know that is a kludge. But if it works
then who cares?
Just an idea.
Regards,
Andy Cranston.
