It's freezing because you've told it to wait until the program finishes. That's what WaitForSingleObject does. The JCL has a function, JclSysUtils.Execute, which will run a program and call a function of your choice on each line the program prints. Within that function, you can update your program's display so that it does not appear hung anymore. You can also collect the lines into the memo, or wherever else, without requiring a temporary disk file. http://jcl.sf.net/ I would prefer to wait for the program to terminate from a separate thread, but setting up a separate thread can be a hassle. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
