StdOut on Windows

[Michael Doub]

Hi Mark,

I thought that if you ran a headless version of livecode that normal put statements go to stdout.   This seems to be what is happening when I look at the cgi tutorial:

I may not be understanding your question properly.

Since LiveCode is completely incompatible with any screenreader, contrary to RealStudio, which is fully compatible with most screenreaders, I was thinking about creating a command line utility before deciding to do this project in RealStudio. For such a command line utility to work, I need to write to stdOut. Guess what... stdOut doesn't work either on Windows. Almost 7 years ago, someone reported this as a bug http://qery.us/1hv but nothing happened meanwhile. My question is whether anyone has found a workaround to make LiveCode return a value in the DOS prompt. No piping to text files, no speech or other alternative, I need LiveCode to write to stdOut or otherwise return a value in the DOS prompt. Has anyone managed to do this?
