> osprocess does this. Whether it is a "nice wrapper" is arguable. IIRC osprocess does what process does, just gives you more control--but both are multi-step processes. I was thinking a wrapper along the lines of the with-* procedures. Or modifying open-input-pipe to call ##sys#process instead of popen() when there's a list involved. It's useful enough in Perl that there's a special syntax for this, and I have used it heavily. If I ever need it in Chicken I'll make an egg. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
