spawn

[Former user]

in fl_0.79.45 on Linux (debian), to be operational, SPAWN should be append by /SH

e.g.

SPAWN, 'ps ax'

SPAWN, 'ls'

are not working

it was ok in FL 0.79.41 & 0.79.41

A. PS: it would be great to have an internal version number (eg. !fl)

Confirmed. However, a fresh build does work as expcted.

There is a special comment in FL, ';#FL ', which is swallowed by the scanner, so as a workaround you can use

SPAWN, 'ls' ;#FL , /sh

This works both in IDL and FL.

There will be an !FL system variable in the next snapshot.

Thanks for the report.
