I hope that the child process isn't using ncurses. If it is, it will have problems, because it will see that standard output is not a terminal. This will confuse things. I assume that the child process is using normal line output. In this case, the parent process occasionally reads data from the pipe that's connected to standard output on the other end. As it reads data, it can reformat it and send it on to ncurses. That's how I'd do it, anyway. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
