QuickWin
(ver 1.0)
Freeware


QuickWin redirects a Command-line Application into a Window.

Quickwin is a standalone program. Extract the file into 
a directory of your choice, and run "QuickWin.exe".  


Introduction:

QuickWin is a windows application that spawns a Win32 console 
application that redirects stdin, stdout, and stderr handles 
to a window. The console application is invisible, and all 
I/O operations are made through QuickWin.

This is a very useful program to spawn script programs or 
console applications in a windows environment without first 
opening a command line window.


How QuickWin works:

QuickWin contains one or two windows depending on if you want 
the same stdout view for stderr output or another view. Stdin 
is in the same view as stdout. The view is a CRichEditView and 
is not limited in space for the Output. Commands like cut, copy, 
paste, and find are also available. Quickwin can spawn console 
applications, shell (COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE) or batch files. 
You start the console application from command line or browse 
your disk. You can also stop and restart the console application 
many times. The content of the output view can be saved into file. 
The last 10 programs paths are saved into the registry (they are 
eraseable) and available for quick start from a pulldown menu.


The following parameters are available:

	Full or Half duplex.

In full duplex, characters are sent to stdin and displayed into 
the view. In half duplex, they are only sent to stdin.


	Enter.

The enter key (CR) can be translated into CR, LF or CR+LF.


	Close on Exit.

If the console application is terminated, QuickWin will terminate.


	Show Child window.

You can display the command line child window. If you want to write 
into this "Console", open the "CON" file and write into it.


	Oem -> Ansi.

Normally, we must translate characters for console application.


	Use Input buffer.

If it is not necessary to send each character, one at a time to the stdin, 
characters can be written into an input buffer until CR is pressed.


	Command line.

For COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE, the command is echoed to stdout. This option 
removes the typed command.


	Options for COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE.

Full duplex, CR->CR+LF, Oem->ANSI, Use input buffer and Command line.
For standard applications, remove the Command line option.
