Windows support
Draft pull request for Windows support.
This is still early in the exploration phase, anyone wanting to contribute or follow the specific implementation details should subscribe to this thread.
More general Windows support discussion can be found on the original issue #22
List of changes so far to get server working:-
- Use Windows specific environment variable setup for the
yarn win-devserver launch script - Call
filewith double quotes instead of single quotes (the Windows version offileneeds to be installed, see below) - Strip leading backslashes

C:back on when calling out tofile
These early tests come with the following limitations:-
- You can't use shortened home paths (
~) - You can't access anything but
C:\ - You need to install the Windows version of the
filecommand and add it to your WindowsPATHenvironment variable - I haven't looked at the
vivclient at all yet, so you have to manually invoke the browser
