Unix-style fork is not available in windows. The CreateProcess code in the Windows task script from Oleg Kobchenko tries to emulate some of the fork processing. Ironically, his emulation was too good, in a way. I have seen Linux examples of equally painful problems trying to sort out which task/process owns which files/streams after a fork.
