Re: Self-contained executables on Windows 7

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for the new Gui4Cli executable and gcview!

Unfortunately it didn't do wonders but I used 19.35 so it's always
good to upgrade. Actually while testing on six different install paths,
I now have reasonably stable results although it's still pulling
the lucky number.

It's indeed a large and complicated startup procedure but Gui4Cli
does it flawlessly in W2K and WXP?

About memory, I meant storage of variables and the scripts in memory.
Since the install path is involved, I can imagine strange behaviour
when $$this.path gets corrupted.

I probably find the solution or a workaround over time :)

Thanks for your efforts,
Chris
