I've been looking through some old postings and saw Steven
Davies-Morris' posts about the WINED interface for editing Pick
database files using Notepad or Wordpad via Wintegrate.

Can someone please forward me a copy of the utility if they have it?

Thanks.

Dont know about notepad/wordpad - but wintegrate comes with the winteg
editor (wintedit.exe) - all you need are the wintegrate host routines
compiled and it will connect through your wintegrate session - great
for program editing/compiling etc...

Depending on which platform you're working from, you can usually write your
item into Windows folder and then shell out to the notepad.exe. In D3
something like:

open 'bp' to bpfv then
read r from bpfv,'test' then
open "dos:/drive:/folderpath" then
write r on "d3pgm.txt"
execute "!notepad.exe drive:\folderpath\d3pgm.txt"
read r from 'd3pgm.txt' then write r on bpfv,'test'
end
end
end

On D3, notice different slashes in path between a "pick" path and a "dos"
path. For others, such as jBase and OpenQM, there's no such difference.

Mark and anyone else,

How would this code look if you were running on D3/Linux?

Thanks,

Reply to self,

Using Accuterm features, this is what I came up with:

(number, record and attr passed from calling program, path also grabbed
using an Accuterm feature)

REMARKS=RECORD<ATTR>
FNAME="note":NUMBER:".txt"
PATH="C:\Documents and Settings\Jeffrey Kaufman\My Documents"
J=DCOUNT(REMARKS<1>,CHAR(253))
REC=""
FOR I=1 TO J
REC<-1>=REMARKS<1,I>
NEXT I
WRITE REC ON SUSPENSE,FNAME
ECHO OFF
CALL DOSSVC('NOTEPAD ':PATH:"\":FNAME, PATH, FNAME, REC, PATH, FNAME,
NEW.REC)
ECHO ON
DELETE SUSPENSE,FNAME
IF NEW.REC=REC THEN RETURN
J=DCOUNT(NEW.REC,CHAR(254))
REMARKS=""
FOR I=1 TO J
IF NEW.REC<I>="" AND NEW.REC<I+1>#"" THEN NEW.REC<I>=" "
IF NEW.REC<I>#"" THEN REMARKS<1,-1>=NEW.REC<I>
NEXT I
RECORD<ATTR>=REMARKS
RETURN

Here is the code for grabbing the path:

EQU ESC TO CHAR(27), STX TO CHAR(2), CR TO CHAR(13)
PRINT ESC : STX : 'P InitSession.Output Environ("USERPROFILE") &
chr$(13)' : CR :
ECHO OFF
PROMPT ''
INPUT PATH:
ECHO ON

I'm still interested in finding a non-Accuterm solution that will work on
D3/Linux.

Jeff,

If you were using AccuTerm, I'd suggest using WED.

If NOT accuterm, what TE are you running, and how does it fire notepad
(or are you looking to run gedit under X from inux workstations) ?

Ross,

Good idea using WED. I'll give that a try. This is for the portions of our
software that are still character based.

Just about all of our clients are using Accuterm. I was just curious if you
can open a local DOS file and read/write to it the way you can with Linux.

Jeff:

Yes you can write to a DOS folder the same way you write to a Linux
directory.
