Hello,
I was using JDK 1.3, but it still wasn't working properly. I gave up and
just started using the Runtime class.
Thanks.

It depends on what JDK you are using. If you are having problems
with a JDK 1.1 release from Sun, forget about it. JDK 1.2 seems
to work better, but that is still not great. Have you tried the
IBM JDK? That might work better than the Sun one. Sun does not
seem to do a very good job of fixing bugs in the JDK. Just
take a look at the exec implementation in Jacl if you want a
good scare.
By the way, JDK 1.3 has a new exec() API that fixes most of
these problems, but it took so long to get in that I never
got around to adding it back to Jacl. I filed a bug report with
Sun, and it took them someting like 2 years to fix the
problem.
