About my PariTTY-utility |
Dear community - as some people might remember, I had a nice GUI for the use of Pari/GP in Windows-OS, that I'd used since about 2008 with GP-versions <=2.4 and had uploaded to a free software pool near my homepage (and had announced it to/by the Pari/GP-group in Bordeaux for/at their download-sites). Because with GP version >2.4 the interaction of GP with a calling main-program in Windows-OS changed (the option >gp --emacs on command-level had no more effect for the protocol between Pari/GP and the calling GUI) I did not push the "PariTTY" development further, but instead did avoid upgrading of Pari/GP in my environment. ---- Recently I've found a trick, where I can restore some communication between the GUI-program and the called subprocess GP.exe, although it is a - someone might say - dirty trick. However, now I'm happy to have GP-versions 14 to 16 available to my PariTTY-GUI again, and of course I know my little software good enough to know what functions work well, and what not, and how I could use the clipboard interface and etc pp. However, because of it seeming to be at a dead end, I didn't develop the program further for new functions or maintained its website. Last time I began to thik that if there would be more interest from other people here around and we could set up some exchange about the pro's, con's and functions of this PariTTY - tool I were ready for review and improve its functionality again. (I'm using the "Delphi 6"-code base which means, that the PariTTY-tool shall be fixed to the 32-bit environment, but which does not prohibit the use of a Pari/GP 64-bit subprocess). The interested ones might have a look at the very old description (2006) of PariTTY at my homepage https://go.helms-net.de/sw/paritty/index.htm Regards - Gottfried
