Michael, forgive me if I am wrong - I am not a Unix buff - but I was under the impression that forking was a method for creating multithreaded unix apps?!? Everytime you fork() you end up with two seperate processes running concurrently. You differentiate between them by chacking the result given by fork(). Certainly under Cygwin this works. I also have some code written using POSIX calls on BeOS that creates a daemon by forking 3 times.

With call fork I get 0 in result in child. This is correct. Fork returns 0 in the child and returns the child process ID in the parent.
