Hi all, I have an interesting dillema, I need to write a platform independant program which needs to be able to launch other programs. It must NOT wait for them to exit but merely launch them, specifically we`re talking about launching things like a web-browser or pdf viewer.
The choice of the actual commands I will handle, the bigger problem is how to do it. Obviously the & method only works on unixes (I definitely need win32 support) and as far as I know, tprocess cannnot LAUNCH a program and then forget about it and pass control back to my own app. If there is no single way to do it, I am happy to use IFDEFS, but of course I still need to know what I can do on windows.
