I have the newLISP web server locally serving up custom RSS feeds generated by a little newLISP cgi script. Of course having the newLISP server console window lingering on screen isn't very nice, so I found an easy fix. Add this to the httpd-conf.lsp script, and your newLISP web server console window will happily run in the background.
(import "user32.dll" "ShowWindow")
(constant 'SW_HIDE 0)
(constant 'SW_SHOW 5)
(setq hwndConsole (GetConsoleWindow))
(if-not (zero? hwndConsole)
(ShowWindow hwndConsole SW_HIDE)
)
A good solution! Then, what or where is use of "SW_SHOW" in your code?
