Yes; CreateProcess() has [excessively] numerous flags
that can be used to achieve very similar behavior to the
traditional unix fork/exec combo.
There's also ways to get exit codes, and test to see
if the process exited (both blocking and non-blocking).
All Win32 API stuff, but it works well. You just have to
read a hell of a lot of Win32 API documentation. For instance,
if you read the CreateProcess() docs, you'll find this exponentially
spans outward into separate docs on structures within structures.
Worth reading all that stuff. As much as I dislike the Win32 API design,
it is somewhat well documented, and seems to 'behave' if you play by
their specific rules, and don't try to 'intuit' too much.
