Actually, that's what I'm using. The problem is that it spawns processes via fork/exec which is horribly inefficient on OS/2 as fork() is emulated by the C library for unix compatibility only. I've had a look at recoding it to use spawn() (like I did for CGIs in Apache a while ago) but it isn't a simple job..... -- ______________________________________________________________________________ | Brian Havard | "He is not the messiah! | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | He's a very naughty boy!" - Life of Brian | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
