Yes, pipe is missing, one of the few missing pieces, named pipes (FIFOs) would be nice too. I guess ns_exec would imply a simple pipe where AOLserver exec's some process, but it seems that the new process would need to know about the pipe. There are also named pipes (FIFOs) and message queues which are pretty portable. At the very least, you would need two pipes to have a conversation. tom jackson -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
