This I had tried even before posting the question :) Ludo Brands: > I don't see where you close the mProcess.input. In my original post I call: MoreProcess.CloseInput(); As for the program based on SteveG's code, I tried to keep his code as intact as possible, so I didn't close the input handle in it. > Pipes.pp doesn't have any routines to clean up the pipe > handles which is according to msdn not good.

My WinApi program creates pipes with: SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES.bInheritHandle = true; in order for the handles to be properly inherited in the child process. That must be my problem. The only other way to do it is to use the DuplicateHandle function which will create in inherarable duplicate of the original handle, that can then be passed to the CreateProcess. The original handle will remain non-inheritable and should trigger EOF on clo- sure. Thank you for your investigation. I'll try duplicating the handles and report the results.
