How can I execute a graphical program on Pragma Fortress without hanging the process?

0

Although Pragma Fortress does not allow for the client to view graphical programs run on the server. You can start a graphical program from the client, using the GUIStart program included with the Fortress server. back I have some programs that run okay in a local DOS Window, however when I run them in a session, the window is not updating. Reason: Some programs that are compiled for Windows and run in a console window use the Win32 Console API functions that switch the active screen buffer being used. Not only does Pragma Fortress have no way of knowing that these functions are being used and that the screen buffer has been changed, but because of process boundaries set by Windows, the Fortress process has no access to these screen buffers. These applications will work in Advanced Console or with the wrap.exe program.
