Tobias might also want to consider the run-with-pipe procedure, and the run-concurrently+ procedure (with tail-call-program), as provided by guile-lib ( http://www.nongnu.org/guile-lib/doc/ref/os.process/ ). Tobias looks as if he has posted to the wrong newsgroup. Follow ups should I think go to guile-user (but I have not set them). Chris
