CreateProcess has its own design bobbles as well. For example, if you forget to put quotes around the program name, it will happily try to add ".exe" to *multiple* places in the hopes that one of them will work. Adding a file c:\program.exe to a system will blow up lots of programs that were working by mistake for years. -- DaveA _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
