We can capture the output from the GUI (which is the input to the program, I suppose). This info is written to a file; problem is, since this GUI is just a passthru to Unix, what ends up in the file is every bit of the GUI code, from beginning to end. So whatever the user sees in the GUI is, in the background, written on the command line "behind" it. So, if I look at that file afterward, I see everything from "Welcome" to the selections made to the grids that are loaded etc. So you see, it's not simply their selections that I can pass back. I would have to parse them out of the file, which might take some work, but then I'm thinking I could pass them to the script and add a button to the GUI that would essentially run the program using the values in the script. The WinFAST GUI is all client-side and all they can see and use. It's something I had never heard of until I started working here. More info gowinfast.com.

btmaketorrentgui

btmaketorrentgui(1)					      General Commands Manual					       btmaketorrentgui(1)

NAME

       btmaketorrentgui -- GUI program to generate torrent meta-info files for use with bittorrent

SYNOPSIS

       btmaketorrentgui

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the btmaketorrentgui command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       btmaketorrentgui is a GUI interface to btmakemetafile, it generates the torrent info files that are distributed to bittorrent clients (usu-
       ally over http) to inform them of where the designated tracker for the torrent is located, and to enable them to  verify  the  file's  con-
       tents.

       btmaketorrentgui does not require arguments like btmakemetafile does, instead everything is done in the GUI interface. The first box in the
       GUI is the file or directory that the torrent info file will be generated for, the second is the "announce" address  of	the  tracker  (ex.
       http://my.tracker:6969/announce).  The  third  box  is  for an optional list of announces, separated by commas or whitespace and on several
       lines. You can also optionally set the piece size and a comment.
