The book has a sample implementation of fork for NT. Buy the book if you are interested. I doubt that either Corinna or I want to transcribe the book for this mailing list. And, I'm pretty sure that neither of us has that much experience with the routines in the book. I did play with the implementation and realized that it would take quite a bit of work to perfect for cygwin. For one thing, it doesn't seem to concern itself with dlls. I don't remember if there were other issues. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
