I certainly could be missing something here, but it seems like you could take all of the code in `Process::create(ProcessParams * params)` and put it in the body of `ProcessParams::create()`. You would need to replace the `params` variable with `this`, but other than that, I don't see any changes. Am I missing something? It wasn't this that before, which I assumed was because LiveProcess was one of multiple types of Process classes, but there could have been a good reason. I haven't run into any problems with this code before. I was just suggesting a little more housekeeping while you were here. - Jason ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
