- Given that David-Michael has said that 'Spawn/nowait anything.com doesn't
- help' this probably will not help much.
-
- On the other hand, he also says 'although the subprocess runs asynchronous
- the "motherprocess" is stopped till completion of the subprocess'. This is
- not true, but if he means that the child process is killed if the parent
- process is stopped then this is correct. The real question is what is the
- command
- $mc prt type *.txt
- supposed to do and why won't
- $print *.txt
- (with some set of qualifiers) do the job? Since 'mc prt' will not work here
- I assume that it is either a local hack or (conceivably) a layered product.
-
- More information from the original poster is what we need. Neil.
