Hi Iain,
Thanks for your helpful remarks on Windows Icon's system() function.
Up until the most recent binaries, advertized a week or two ago,
system() was implemented using WinExec() in a less than perfect way.
This less-than-perfect method is still the best I know how to do
under Win32s/Windows 3.1, but the latest binaries now use spawnvp()
under Windows95 and Windows NT, giving much improved behavior on
those platforms. Anyone who wants to help me improve system() or
implement files opened using the "pipe" modes, please drop me a line.
