Re: 4GL Command Line Processing

16 October 1991 RE: Command Lne Processing If I recall correctly (from 4 years ago) and if you are using XENIX shell. The "!" character is an escape character to a subshell of XENIX. Theoretically, unless this option has been deleted from the XENIX operating system, one could write their programs with XENIX commands embedded with the program. For the a.out CUSTOMER example provided-- at the point where you wish this to be done in the program (created by "VI" or other editor) insert the line: ! cc a.out customer (or what ever the format is now-- haven't used for a while as stated above). Glen P. Jula U.S. Army Tank Automotive Command Warren, MI 48397-500 A.v 786-5185, or 5488 or 5168 Commercial (313) 574-xxxx Please correct previous correspondence to reflect the 786 prefix. Accidentally gave 787.
