RE: cgi
hi cassidy
i know nothing about cgi, but have you tried:-
1. experimenting with the stuff in the RefMan under the library function
free_console(), which also refers to a WinAPI function FreeConsole(). in
a different context, i've used this to make the console disappear before
it becomes apparent to the user.
2. setting the file properties to "Run Minimised". this normally causes
a dos program to create only the taskbar presence and not the console.
