      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 2:201/137 fd6a5e46       REPLY: 1:129/215 f8cf6c49       TZUTC: 0200       Hello g00r00!              Thank you for your reply!              On 09 Aug 2021, g00r00 said the following...        g0> BW> Windows: > NUL 2>&1        g0> BW> Linux: > /dev/null 2>&1        g0>         g0> Mystic's local console API in Windows already takes over STDIN and        g0> STDOUT.              OK, but what happens to "external" archive viewers (View Cmd) on Windows then?              Won't their output be eaten up by the console API, resulting in (seemingly) no       contents inside those archives?              That's what currently happens for Linux, and the reason for needing a       construct like >> "%3%2" 2> /dev/null; exit $? at the end of the View Cmd on       Linux. Easy, but unnecessary, should Mystic instead only "eat" stderr of the       View Cmd on Linux. :)              Now, please don't get me wrong -- I think the job you've put into the archiver       stuff lately is marvelous, including the fix for the redirections, and I       appreciate it all very much! Just thinking that View Cmds would be easier to       construct if stdout wasn't eaten up (for View Cmds, only).              As always, thank you,               Best regards       Bj”rn              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/08/08 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (2:201/137)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 154/10 201/0 137 203/0 124 221/0 1 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 452 550 700 981 1016 1017 230/0 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5411 5824 5832 5853 6309 249/206 307 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 633/280 2452/250 2454/119 3634/24       PATH: 201/137 0 203/0 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
