I'm working on a GUI wrapper for a program called Latin WORDS, which
was originally developed in Ada for DOS, but which has since been
ported to OS X. I've managed to create a working program using
NSTask. However, the program is designed to remain running and
receive an indefinite amount of input. As I understand, NSTask can
only be run once, which makes it not ideally suited to my needs, as I
wind up having to launch the program and quit it every time the user
inputs a new argument, which is quite inefficient. Does anybody know
of a better way to accomplish my goal? I've done a lot of searching,
and I think the system() C function looks promising, but it may also
suffer from the same issues as NSTask. Thanks in advance.
Yes it would. Check out the dpipe() C function.
