I kinda feel bad for the Windows users (in more than one way ;-), but I sure would like to see those inline file modified dialogs instead of pop-ups. Also, removing the if defs like Tory suggests and simplifying code is always nice. Is there any way to give some support to the Windows guys

cc'ing the devel list. Hi Matt, I'll have to reply to this email properly tomorrow. In the meantime, there are 3 spawning variants: I'm confident that the custom process spawning code is definitely seriously buggy. I really do need the system() code. I tried, but couldn't fix it. I know that
