I'm pleased to announce HSH 1.2.0. Since version 1.0.0 was announced a

I've had a little look, and it looks nice. However, as a mainly
Windows user, I'd be interested to know - does it work on Windows
(alternatively, is portability to Windows a goal)? It might be worth
mentioning up front, if it's Unix-only.
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.
Windows has proper pipes these days, and System.Process.runInteractiveProcess
creates pipes for you.
