If it is a console mode program then you can still use backticks in Windows. The only thing to watch out for is when a program prints to STDERR, which a few of the standard Windows command-line utilities will do in some circumstances. That, I believe, won't be caught by backticks (someone correct me if I'm wrong, I can't test it here and it's been a while since I used backticks). ________________________________
