    This sounds good - where can a copy of the Multia MWM.EXE be found ?

    Don't we include mwm.exe on the excursion kit somewhere already ?

    The one in the kit is a console-based application, so there's a console
    window opened when it starts.  What I think .7 is looking for is one
    that's built as a Win application so that no console window appears.
    It would certainly be true that the Multia mwm had no console window.

    Right - .5 discusses the mwm.exe from the multia kit, and I was just
    asking where I could find it if I don't have a multia.  I prefer a
    mwm.exe that doesn't tie up a console window.

    I doubt it ties up a console window.  Perhaps a console window
    subliminally appears and then goes away.

3132.12Console window staysYAKKA::KINGSMILLGeoff Kingsmill, AustraliaWed Apr 09 1997 23:3210
Eric,
    The console window comes up and stays. The best you can do is the minimize
the DOS window automatically by starting MWM using the command 
"START MWM /minimized D:\win32app\xcursion\xapps\mwm.exe" - this works with
WindowsNT). You actually end up with two entries in the task bar - The DOS 
Command Window and an Untitled X Window. Is there a reason why the multia
version of MWM (which does not start a DOS window) cannot be included in the 
eXcursion kit?

    Right.  Any app built with the eXcursion SDK as a "console" application
    will pop a console window when it starts, and it will stay up to
    provide a place for stdout messages to go.

If one version of mwm leaves a dos window around and another doesn't, I would
think we could provide the one that doesn't.

It's partly a matter of our list-of-things-to-do.  I suggest you put in a
qar on it.

As I also have a customer complaining about this I've entered QAR 493.
