| 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 -
