Re: double clickable C app (for Windows)

No, as you've guessed, it's just a command line tool. It reads some data from text files into a bunch of arrays, analyses all the data and then spits the result out to another text file that I then import into FileMaker Pro (which is cross platform of course). No GUI whatsoever for the C app.

Unfortunately, like I don't have a real PC, I don't have VirtualPC either. "CodeWarrior" is something I've heard a lot, but know nothing about it. Is it a commercial product, or something downloadable from the web for free or cheap? Any other free tools I could download that would allow me to do this on my Mac?

Hello David,

Perhaps you could purchase a slightly dated x-platform CodeWarrior from ebay for peanuts and get an executable from it. Maybe talk someone with a real PC into testing it for you (watch out for line endings in sample text files). I've actually not installed the CodeWarrior Windows version in VirtualPC but compile to an x86 target on Mac. Drag it into a folder designated in VirtualPC as being shared for testing but otherwise zip it from MacOS and send it to QA. Nice if you can give it an 8.3 name so it passes through DOS server hurdles. If it's a tool with straight ahead I/O, I can tell you that the same C++ stream calls in CW work just fine on both platforms, so I'd guess a C language FILE * should be ok too. What I'd do is keep my PB project and source, and use some conditionals for any Windows-centric includes (if needed at all):

Good luck,

Philip Aker
