Topic: Harmless typo in YAP.VDM (1 of 8), Read 55 times, 1 File Attachment Conf: VEDIT Macro Library From: Peter Rejto Date: Thursday, March 25, 2004 02:32 PM Fritz, First and foremost, a big thank you for your YAP.VDM. I have learned quite a lot from it! Now, I would like to report a harmless typo: The reference to LATEX.VCS should be replaced by your addition to C-INIT.VDM. For the details and other minor comments I shall try to upload my edited version of your macro, that I called PR_YAP.VDM. Well, "morally" the typo is absolutely correct! That is to say a yap.exe specific adaptation should go into the file LATEX.VCS. Since I still feel that YAP.VDM is black magic, I shall not try to move your adaptation from C-INIT.VDM to LATEX.VCS. In fact, I do not know whether this is possible at all. I just thought that it is no harm done raising the issue. Thanks again for YAP.VDM. -peter.

You are right! Thanks for the correction - as you can see now, linguists tend to be mind-absent as well :) Fritz -- Dr. Friedrich Heberlein, Akad.

In fact, I have a hunch that finally, I have found your "real typo". In other words, I guess that you wanted to put your code into latex.vcs, in the first place. However, being an absent minded linguist, your code ended up in c-init.vdm. So, this is a "virtual typo" only. So, I moved your code to the :COMPILE: subroutine of latex.vcs. This adjustment seems to work fine for me. At the same time, I would like to fill you in on the details. I called my adjusted file latex_par.vcs and I uploaded it at the read?17451,29 thread. Looking forward to hearing from you! -peter.

Specifically, I am using the version which came with the Vedit 6.13.1 distribution. I noticed that unlike your previous versions, your invocation of yap.exe via the Sys( ) macro, does not use the DOS switch. For personal reasons, I do prefer your present invocation, without the DOS switch. Now I would appreciate knowing your reason for removing "DOS" Looking forward to hearing from you. -peter.

Yap, being a Win program, should work without it. Therefore, recalling Ockham's "entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" i removed it. So, if you like, it did it for purely philosophical reasons :) Fritz

The "DOS" option is best only used to shell out to DOS programs; leave it out when shelling out to Windows programs. When shelling to Windows programs, the SIMPLE or MAX options can force the program to start in minimized or maximized mode. Ted.

Specifically, here is your system command: System(`"|@(96)\vcs-tmp.bat"`,DOS+NOMSG+SIMPLE) Then my question is: Should I continue to use the DOS switch? To be sure, the programm works like a charm. Once again, a big thank you to you and to Christian. Looking forwrd to hearing your reactions. -peter.
