This or something like it could probably be used in spawn_guts to help determine if the program to be executed is a cygwin program or not. Knowing that could allow us to bypass some argument processing and an event wait. That *could* speed up exec if the overhead of looking at the binary wasn't too great. I have had some need in the past for this include file when porting a UNIX application, too. -- http://www.bbc.com/ cgf AT bbc DOT com "Strange how unreal VMS=>UNIX Solutions Boston Business Computing the real can be."
