I have used sometimes "call 'system' using ...." without null
(no many times because i have my own library for manies calls
with null terminated : more easy for call "C" progs, unless to give
the lenght of the call data, more difficult to use in Cobome or in C)
and this works perfectly with my old version of OC (0.23.19)
wich I works because not any times for testing all new version.
In a old time I have somes mails with Keisuke in order to convert
all the char in upper-case, but perhaps not all between "." or ','.
As soon as possible I sahel test a newer version of OC, but it should be
interesting to have the "CHANGES" ...
I well know the problem for developpers to write documentation,
(I write myself some programs, for what I use OC, and the users asks
for more ...) but this is very important.
 
best regards,
