FTN95/Clearwin to run on a website?

31 Jan 2015 12:38 #15554

G'day, folks 😃

Traditionally, if that's the appropriate expression, whenever I wanted users to run something involving non-trivial arithmetic, such as manipulation of randomly-generated numbers, on a website I have programmed using a combination of HTML and JavaScript.

Servers, for security reasons, won't run executable (.exe) files. At least, the servers to which I and my users have access won't run them.

My question is: Can the result of a FTN95/Clearwin compilation run on a website, to avoid a user having to download an .exe file and run it on their own machine? As far as I can gather such downloading loses the program's privilege to create files on the website.

When building with FTN95/SCC/ClearWin+ you can only create an executable for Win32 or an assembly for .NET.

The minimum redistributable for Win32 would contain your executable together with salflibc.dll for which there is no charge to Silverfrost.

I don't know of any reason why such an executable would (of itself) have any problems creating a remote file.
