If memory serves, you can abuse CreateProcess() in Win32 land to this end by setting the CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB and NO_WINDOW bits in dwCreationFlags. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682425%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Unfortunately, my Win32 experience is somewhat limited (I've mostly banged against what's called the Native API), and I currently don't have access to a Win32 box with a development environment to test this, so don't quote me on any of it. :) /nrr _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
