I have three questions that people out there might have
answers to.
1) I just finished porting a 12K line program from our unix
system to a 1040 using MWC 2.1.7. The system() calls simply print
no shell when the program is running under gulam. I know that
setting the SHELL environment variable to GULAM will fix that. The
problem is that other mark william tools seem to be able to run
shell commands with out the SHELL variable being set, and if the
environment variable is set then a new copy of the shell is started up
for each cc in a make.
2) How does a typical mwc tool know that it has been called
from a shell. When ever I use a tool it seems to assume that the
program was run from the desktop and I have to press return.
3) How reliable are the malloc() and free() functions
provided with MWC.
