MyOtherScript.cmd > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt

I dont quite understand what you are asking for. The graphics functions wich are part oft the RubyEdit class work differently. AFAIK there is also no access to the window's HWND.

may someone enlighten me what the thingy is supposed to be. According to the guide book:

There is a big chance VST plugins break other plugins without knowing.
Scenario: user loads VST plugin made with FS into VST host. Plugin loads Ruby dll and starts ruby ...

Glad to hear you are investigating these topics. I did some research on the "only 1 Ruby interpreter per process" topic and for me that seems to be the most difficult but nevertheless necessary problem to solve.

One thing that we know is running two or more Ruby interpreters within the same process doesn't work. I'm pretty sure this rules out having differently named dlls for each export.

Ouch. Looks like a limitation. Scenario: with Ruby 2 around the corner in case a future FS version updates to use ...

see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1026&p=2968&hilit=osc#p2968
and viewtopic.php?f=2&t=556

It could be statically linked with the other flowstone code. The DLL size is 1.19 MB. No big deal on a 32 bit address space. (A minimal ...

I have more than 20 years programming experience in C++ and other OO languages. I know the Windows SDK, therefore I'd estimate multitouch support in Flowstone can be implemented on a thursday afternoon. That could be a cool addition to Flowstone. Besides, I'm rather unimpressed by Windows 8 and Win ...
