Hi,

If you just want to make Morse code and use Windows, use the Beep_ command: it's faster and lighter than loading a sound file.

This is the classic Beep or Sound command that exists in many languages, but not natively in PB (why?), so we use the system API. Beep_ (A command suffixed with an ...

Hi,

I want to create debugging symbols in the binary, so I can debug with gdb. This is a server , so I want it to crash and then automatically restart while running under systemd (I can have it generate a core file).

I believe you also could call the command directly like this:

RunProgram("copy", "C:\text.txt D:\text.txt", "")

it mostly depends on what you are planning to do...
In this case you posted i would use CopyFile instead of opening a console ;)
