  Thanks, but none of that seems germane to the question I was really
asking.  Those quotes don't say, for example "NtCreateProcess will return
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER if a win32-ss application tries to pass the
COPY_ON_WRITE_FLAG but will accept the flag when called by a posix-ss
application".  Corinna explained it from the angle I was looking at.

  Now, who supposes you could work around the restriction by writing 

  * (WORD *) 0x004000dc = POSIX_CUI;

just before calling NtSetInformation?

    cheers,
      DaveK
