I can't stand the command line interface of siocons. What I'd like to do is write a quickie WIN95 GUI front end for it so as to make my life that much easier. From what I understand Visual Basic would be a simple way to accomplish this. I'd like to know if this is true or would it not be worth my time to learn VB and instead spend valuable Yaroze programming time on yet another C++ project? I think it would be real easy if there was a way to send strings to the stdin stream so that a DOS program could read it as normal keyboard input. I'm not familiar with WIN95 programming yet so any pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I can't wait to start coding for the Yaroze. As soon as these exams are over...YES! PC
