dwTerm.exe loads and runs your program (*.dll), with a window to maintain what it draws, and a command input window, as well as a useful handler-scheme and various functions. Build your main codes as a DLL and run it by dwTerm. Spending little effort in maintaining the output on the display window, in parsing the input command string, in scrolling the output, and in other stuffs, you can concentrate on your main programming. Also enjoy scripting for automatic command inputs.For example, if you want your program to receive users' commands and to simply display some texts or graphs after calculating or doing a numerical analysis but you know nothing about creating a window, dwTerm will satisfy you.In the case above some programmers may try to build and run an EXE file (*.exe) in a dos window. Don't do that. Build your core codes as a DLL file (*.dll), instead of an EXE, and run it by dwTerm.exe. This method not only lets dwTerm take other parts of the whole program, but also saves the computer's memory if you want to run mutiple instances of the whole program, which cannot be expected when it is built as an EXE. dwTerm provides you an API (Application Programming Interface), in which various "handlers" in your DLL can be called by dwTerm at events (including the start, the end, and the command-input), and many "functions" in dwTerm can be called by your codes in the DLL.Sample DLLs with source codes help you program DLLs, one of which is a plotting program helpful for visual optimization of 2-dimensional 2nd order math functions.Installation is simple. Just extract dwterm10.zip into a folder. Then you are ready to use. Start using (running) dwTerm.exe, Dlls and script files. Also use the header file in the subfolder to compile a DLL. dwTerm is a shareware. Unless you acquire a full license key, you may experience a limit on the number of script commands and you may see a small advertising area in the main window.
