Console-interaction scheme changed since version 2.4 and is since no more functional for my Pari/GP-GUI (Windows) |
Dear friends - in 2005 or so I wrote a GUI-environment for Pari/GP (version 2.2.11) using Delphi 6 which called Pari/GP as (invisible) subprocess, communicating via Windows-console piping (like in emacs with the Pari/GP commandline-option "--emacs") This Utility/GUI ("PariTTY") is a big success for me and a couple of users, but with the version 2.4 or 2.5 things changed and the low-level communication fails. Actually I evaluated the "prompt" in the Pari/GP-output to find when an (asynchronuous) communication/an output was ended. While the console-modus is still working with version 2.7.4 I can, whatever I do, not receive the GP-prompt. Surprisingly, in a simple, ordinary windows-cmd-console the dialog is ok, including the GP-prompt. The likely relevant change seems to be that since version 2.5 or so I don't see the cygwin.dll in the directories. So my question is, how I could reactivate the communicativity of my PariTTY-GUI to be able to adapt the version to the increasing versions of Pari/GP itself. Alternatively, could there be another commandline-parameter introduced, which switches to a modus, which postfixes each GP-output with the GP-prompt via the STDOUT? (Or is there an even better idea to perform interaction without using the complete pari-lib API?) Thanks in advance - Gottfried Helms
