1) Yes. On any MS-Windows system, fork has to be replaced by a series of
statements involving CreateProcess; see

2) What are 'backticks'?
3) Pipe is implemented with system or CreateProcess.
4) No.

Onderwerp: [GnuWin32-Users] Cannot fork...
> All,
>
> I am trying to perform the following:
> find . -name "*.tmp" -exec ls -l {} ;
> and receive the following error:
> find: cannot fork: Function not implemented
>
> I have searched and found a couple of old posts which say fork is
unimplemented.
>
> Questions:
> 1) Does fork remain unimplemented under Windows XP?
> 2) Is there any way to use backticks under XP?
> 3) If fork is unimplemented, why does pipe work?
> 4) Is there a way to use fork in libgw32c?
>
> Thanks! Great project!
