There is no need to stop the program. This still assumes you run under debugger, which is highly annoying, especially when the user is not a programmer. Robert, just try helping a non computer savvy guy run through your procedure, and this _over the phone_ ! BTW, is GDB able to detach from a process under NT ? VC++ v5 cannot. If not, that means you have to keep the program under debug once you looked at it. Very annoying if the program is to be run permanently (or whatever approximation of "permanent" exists on NT..). -- Pascal F. Martin.
