This is probably because the COMSPEC environment variable is not set. It should work correctly if you set it before
running the IDE.

I don't know 4NT,
but the program does require a shell that knows the /C switch... Humm.... I have no idea how to fix this...

Make the 'batch execution command' customizable:

[ ] use COMSPEC when using shell commands
[ ] use this shell command : [_________________]

e.g. The editor I use, (PFE) does this.

It would help to know what exactly is supposed to be started there, I guess - Pierre, any idea? I'd expect either some problem with internal commands (is there used any of them?) and/or using different switch character for parameters.

JPSoft's interpreters (i.e. 4nt as well) _do_ support this switch.

I don't think this is really needed, at least not until M$ stops supporting DOS compatibility altogether (COMSPEC should be always present). The best is to use an environment variable if available, and to resort to the default command interpreter for that particular platform (sh for Unix, CMD.EXE for WinNT and OS/2, COMMAND.COM for DOS), IMHO. If people want to change the interpreter, they can always set the environment variable (even just for fp).

Hi,

running FP under 4NT shell (v 3.02) program shows this text and stops responding:

? Free Pascal IDE Version 0.9.2
4NT: Unknown command "-"

It is a little strange command.

responding:

It points to 4nt. I forget to say that i trayed to run it under win2000. Maybe problem there, but without 4nt shell fp works OK.
