Fine with me. The two-function version was just a derivative of my earlier "just wrap [Exit|Terminate]Process" approach, trying to mimic the w32api. However by going the cgywin_internal route, there's really no point in slavishly following the w32api. And besides, the implementation of cygwin_internal(CW_TERMINATE_PROCESS,...) really does nothing special if called with a HANDLE to a different process -- you might as well call TerminateProcess() itself, in that case. I'll wait for other comments, before taking any additional action, tho. -- Chuck
