DDE interfaces anyone Mitch Fri, 29 Jan 1999 01:02:19 -0800

I can't seem to get the list-server to send me the FAQ, so if anyone has
it, could you please pass it this way?  Thanks.

Also.  I was wondering if anyone has any DDE interfaces to ECS?
Specifically I'm looking for one that is like a command line interface.
So that I can do things from perl, both query and send to ECS. For
example:

send.exe item-name on
send.exe a 1 off
send.exe bedroom-light 10%
send.exec event movie-time
---
pull.exe a 1
pull.exe item-name

It's been a few years and don't have much working knowledge of C
anymore...or a compiler anymore.

I am not familar with perl on windows95, so I will also look into seeing
if there are any good modules that have DDE support.

I'm just trying to cover all the bases before I plunge into buying the
full ECS.  I wonder if Mark gives starving college students a discount.
Heheh.
