Hi everyone,

I am trying to get pd to call up a dos batch script that includes CDP (Composers Desktop Project) commands. I know the shell object works on the unix side, but is there a windows equivilent?

you can use [popen]. theres also [system] if you dont need a return value, and/or don't want pd to block waiting for the shell activity to finish. i got fairly close to getting [shell] ported which would have been the best of both worlds, but im not sure if i just couldnt figure it all out, or it was legitimate windows problems, that prevented it from being completed.

Many thanks in advance!

Paul
