Presently, it is Unix-only, though it likely would run fine under Cygwin. I am not yet sure if the new System.Process is powerful enough for this. Upon initial examination, I believe that it is not because it lacks support for pipes. I don't know how Windows shells deal with piping, or even if they can. All I know is that DOS used to simulate it with temporary files, lacking any real multitasking. -- John _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
