While rooting around my mail directory, I found that Will Glozer has already submitted a patch which does this (Dec 2005). See <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Our patches both have this problem of using "2>&1" for stderr redirection, which isn't supported under Windows 98. It seems we did not apply Will's patch because we were waiting for some consensus whether we cared about breaking Windows 98 or not. For what it's worth, I do not, because by now, I'll bet everyone who'd want to use darcs is using XP by now. Then again, I don't have any way of knowing. Perhaps a good way would be to find out how percentage of GHC users are on Windows 98. Anyway, either we settle this Win98 question, or I resubmit the patch so that stderr by default does not get redirected (which seems more sensible than sending it to stdout), or we keep waiting :-) > - Add exec_ function, which does the same thing as exec, > but allows redirection on stderr, and also allows us > to NOT redirect stdin/stderr -- Eric Kow http://www.loria.fr/~kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 Merci de corriger mon français.
