Post by thread:"Command-lining" a menu driven program

Hi A couple of recent posters have been complaining that menu-driven programs do not really help for development ( a sequential process). Herewith a useful program for the PC. In batch files, you run key-fake just before running the menu program. This "fakes" keystrokes for the menu driven program. KEY-FAKE "string",13,"ABB",27,0,13 MENUPROG Strings "..." are characters Numbers are ascii codes for keystrokes eg. 13 = enter, 27 = escape. 0 is a special value which "synchs up" with flushing of the keyboard buffer. I use this and Borland's make to streamline programming. NB: I'm not too sure about the legal status of this program ie. copyright infringement. -- Charles Attachment converted: sheep!:key-fake.com (????/----) (00001717)
