The main reason this is all a mess, and I'm not using the nice/simple posix functions is I couldn't find a portable (to windows) mechanism to pass environment (e.g. CLASSPATH) in a thread safe way. Basically it is the windows side of Python that makes this ugly. That and I've tinkered so many times that I'm sick of looking at it again! ;-) Let's see how this iteration takes, and perhaps I'll get inspired to look at it all w/ a 'fresher' pair of eyes. regards Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
