Dos Shell as Document Window

How about when you invoke a DOS shell, its a window under Zeus?

How about when you invoke a DOS shell, its a window under Zeus?

I'm not sure this would work in any sort of useful way

Consider a typical Dos command line session.

Once you start an application from that session, be it a console or Windows application, all keyboard input must be sent to the running application.

This means that the Dos shell does not regain control of the keyboard until the running application ends.

Now if Zeus was to take on this roll, that would also mean Zeus would not get any keyboard messages until the running application ends.

To the user the Zeus shell document window would still be working and responding, but the rest of Zeus would appear locked or broken.

I thought you could integrate something like this:

Generally I want to run makefiles in the DOS window.

Generally I want to run makefiles in the DOS window.

And this can be done very easily in the current Zeus

Currently you can run a make as a tool, a macro, a compile, a project rebuild, a project build or a project clean.

So there are at least six ways in which to configure a make command line and have it run inside of Zeus. As to which of these six options to use really comes done to how you the user likes to use Zeus

Generally if you have a Zeus workspace then I think the best place to configure the make command line is in the project settings of the workspace.

With no Zeus workspace my next best suggestion is to create a Zeus macro to run the make or to configuring a tool to run the make.

This forum contains lots of information on how to do this. Just use the search option and search for run AND make.

Here is one of those links: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic ... t=run+make

As I said there is no reason why the current Zeus can not already do this, but if you find you just can't make it work, just post a question with a few more details about the type of make you are trying to run
