[QUOTE="MonkeyBoy, post: 89924, member: 1229"] [b]tablesmith[/b] The best solution to this problem, I think, is to require that the full, normal installation of TS is there for the client program to use. Rather than "including" its funcitonality inside another program. Therefore the user would need to have downloaded the TS program, and could therefore be assumed to know where it came from :) That then might make it OK to have a "no gui" mode... I'm going to have a go with this CLI and temp.html opportunity though... Inside a program that wishes to use TS, you would need the user to specify where their installation was for the client to call.
