Re: The implementation of popen().

[jens at uniweb dot se]

 Hi,

 I'm not looking to 'take' the code. What I was looking for was some information about how it was done in cygwin and if someone know if this was a simple solution. What I want is for stdin/stdout to work when I use popen() in multiple steps using the popen() in msvcrt.dll. And the reason for asking here was that it seem to work in cygwin. So I thought maybe the knowledge was here. But maybe I should ask at the cygwin-developer list instead. I just thought that I should not start by desturbing them.
