Can anybody help me. I have a, probably difficult question for you out
there...
This is the case. I'm building a serious GUI and I want some things done.
One of them is this. I want to make it so that the end user starts a
program, possibly a shell program, and that program than loads things like
graphic routines, DLL's, fonts and lots of other things into memory. Then
this starts other programs. The system is multithreaded, not multitasking.
This means that the program that is running in the shell basically doesn't
know that a shell is running. This is all very well but this is what I want.
I want the program that is running in the shell to be able to use all the
things I summed up above. Can anybody give me a (detailed) description on
how to do that. I don't want to be able to let the two programs communicate,
just let the child program use some of the memory that the mother program
has allocated and willed with font things etc.
Another thing is this. If anybody is out there and is a experienced user of
DJGPP with Allegro and has some time of his hands and also wants to help
somebody and in return get a free licensed copy of the end product, please
send me a mail. I'm looking for somebody who is able to write some graphic
routines that initialize the graphical driver, paints some things on the
screen, just some buttons ands stuff, and close the whole things down. It is
a bit more complicated than that and a bit more of a challenge. Please give
me a mail on pginkel AT westbrabant DOT net with the subject "GUI assistance".
