Another difference.... simply so others might learn from this discussion (like I did). If you have a huge list of parameters, RunProcess() - at least under Windows - will most likely hit a 260 character limit, and then fail to actually execute. I don't actually know where that 260 limit originates from (Windows API, Command Prompt, FPC etc). Whereas if you use TProcess and the Parameters (TStrings) property, you don't have such a limitation. This was what I experienced.
