Would it be worthwhile adding somekind of support in the language to enable easier creation of executables that run without a dos/console command prompt in the background? I think it would be great, How do you feel about this?
I've found old posts in the Disucssions and have followed directions and have yet to figure out how to do it. I thought it would be a fairly simple task, but apprently not... :p

I think we eventually an easy ability to launch Fantom programs on Windows without a DOS console - such as a fan_w. Might be a nice project for someone to tackle

Hmmm... It does sound like a challenge, I would give it a go myself but wouldn't know where to start since I'm not very familiar with Fan yet

It really has nothing to do with Fantom, it is really a problem related to writing C code with a win32 main that launches the JVM just like the launcher code does today.

Hmmm... Interesting. I'll look into it and see what I can come up with.
