One way incidentally to further understand these thin bindings, especially if you know C, is to look at the source code for the implementation, which is a very direct interface to the corresponding C routines. In particular the form of the arguments is identical to that passed to C. As for the question of how to break a string up into arguments, that is a reasonable question of how to do string processing in Ada, but has nothing to do with Spawn per se, and would not even appear in an example of how to use Spawn. -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum
