For some reason I just thought I'd try it. I didn't expect it to work. I like knowing that it does :)

You like knowing that windows does what? All I see is output dumped from test.pl?

Very confused,
Bill

Or the ablity to run a perl script?

I'm talking about dumping output from a command to a file, really. That and "more" being there. I have activeperl installed.

I use it all the time when I need to send in a ping or a tracert to tech support. I have batch files set to run when I double click them.

Anyone else here old enough to have been in awe when the first soundblaster card came out? I remember the first time I heard a human-like voice come out of the sound card. Incredible.


Just thinking about the old DOS based games....

me too...er..kinda. I used those piping characters when i first started making batch files...like when i made one that used Time and Date everytime the computer would start up, then it'd pipe it to a text file so i could see when my computer was being used when i wasn't there.

That's really cool. You made a big black window with some words and stuff in it. I wish I knew how to do that.

You're not old enough sonny. :) The first digitized sound I ever heard came out of a Commodore 64. Somebody wrote some software to play with the wave synthesizers on the SID chips to play digitized music. It took up the entire processing power of the C-64, so much so that you had to disable screen refreshes, but it worked. I remember I was at a user group meeting and I was stunned when I realized that real music, with vocals, was coming out of this guy's machine. It think it might have been Van Halen's Jump, but I'm not sure.

Wing COmmander 2, Strike Commander, several other Origin games had speech packs.
I can't believe they charged an additional $20-30 for them either.

My fondest memories are having the text-to-speech synthesizer on the Sound Blaster issuing cuss words. Having the family computer announce such obscenities was the highlight of my adolescence.
