wcmd in a terminal, is it possible?

[J. Grant]

Hi,

wcmd is very useful for me.

However, I would like to use wcmd in a terminal, other than the extra
window in the wine style.  Then the copy paste issue I reported in my
other email would be avoidable.

Is there a way to run wcmd in a terminal? (NT5 cmd.exe can run, but it
crashes when running batch files and I would rather use wcmd).

I tried ttydrv in "config", but no luck with that.

Also I tried using "wineconsole cmd.exe" however that filled my terminal 
with "fixme:wineconsole:WCURSES_FillCode Not done yet (330)" and then 
characters were displayed but Enter stopped working, now its just hung.

Regards

JG

this is not feasible today (I have a patch around that forbids the 
wineconsole creation), if you're interested I can post it

there are two issues with that right now:
1/ you'd better redirect fd:2 to something else than the screen, 
otherwise it'll be screwed up
2/ closing an ncurse console to switch to a user one (which is what 
you're doing) seems to be hosed (I've seen it here, but never 
investigated further)

A+

Sorry, only posted now, it was still a draft email.

Thanks for the info.

wineconsole cmd.exe 2>/dev/null   loaded ok, the 2nd issue you mentioned 
was still a problem, so no "enter" key.
