"spawn", of course, implies that the new process be a child process of the = spawning process. It also can be desirable to create an independent proces= s, and it sounds as if the Windows "start" command does this, although I do= n't believe it is so easily done on Linux/POSIX systems. Of course, it is = trivial on VMS. :-) -- Eryndlia Mavourneen (KK1T)
