What is the easiest way to invoke external applications from Squeak?
For example: to call Acrobat Reader to show a PDF file. I don't need to
application to be able to communicate in any way with Squeak nor does
Squeak need to know when the app is killed. On the other hand, I do
need to make this work in Linux, Windows, Mac and Solaris.
I have looked at all the documentation I could find and it seems that
the AppleScript plug-in could help on the Mac and the OSProcess plug-in
might do the job in the Unix systems. I couldn't find out enough about
the FFI system to see if it can do what I need.
Has anyone done something like this?
