I pushed an untested arc.bat launcher on the anarki arc-f recently, although now that I've reviewed it it seems I used the wrong flag in the mzscheme invocation (-af instead of -mf). Could I ask you to check it out, and if so, could you check it out?
As for the cygwin stuff.... hmm. Maybe I should fix my broken WinXP machine...
@echo off
set arc_dir=C:\Program Files\ARCF
mzscheme -mf "%arc_dir%\as.scm"
This one worked for me. I'm not sure if removing the [][]'s from the file and making it windows line breaks mattered, but at least I had to move some ""'s around to get it to work.
Now just trying to get the launch-an-arc-script script working (from outside the repl). The script that is elsewhere on the website works on linux, but not windows ;). Damn pipes.
Out of curiousity: does it work even if you're on a different hard drive/directory as the installation drive/directory? The intent of that batch file is to allow you to launch Arc from anywhere, while still (1) able to access the current directory and (2) able to load library files from the arc installation directory
E:\> copy con tmp.arc
(prn "hello world!")
^Z <---- that's a control-Z
E:\> "C:\User\Programming\Arc\arc3f\arc-f\arc.bat"
Use (quit) to quit, (tl) to return here after an interrupt.
<User>tl: (using <files>v1)
t
<User>tl: (ls)
("tmp.arc") <--- you should get a list of files and stuff in the current directory, including tmp.arc
<User>tl: (load "tmp.arc")
hello world!
nil
