Can anyone remind me how you use the DDE_Utils commands from BASIC to
invoke a command-line program with a string of parameters that
potentially exceed 255 bytes in length (and thus give errors if
assembled into a BASIC string variable?)
So far as I can tell from inspection of what I was doing in !SideDiff
(which now crashes with a segmentation fault), you simply call
DDEUtils_SetCLSize to point the OS to your buffer and then
DDEUtils_SetCL to run the command, but there seems to be some element
missing...
DIM CLbuffer% 2600
SYS "DDEUtils_SetCLSize", 2600
$CLbuffer%="Show Wimp$Scrap"
SYS "DDEUtils_SetCL",CLbuffer%
does nothing, so far as I can see.
