On this one as well, I'd like to ask you to come back when you have worked out the issues and done the testing. > It should be possible to implement the spawni() routine on OpenVMS at a > future time.

You mean, the "mailbox" files are not a good implementation technique for pipe()? Then, how about temporary regular files? Bruno
