Using system() is a very bad idea on MS Windows. You should see what glib offers in the way of spawning processes, e.g. at http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/glib/glib-Spawning-Processes.html If you need even more fine-grained control look at the win32 API: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682425(VS.85).aspx Allin Cottrell _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
