I think you meant to say Win32 version of APR does not have apr_proc_fork()? Even the APR docs admit it as the only non-portable call in APR. Don't know if this is defined on Cygwin though since it is able to emulate fork() (read: slowly). Win32 sort of has a fork() equivalent. Been a long while since I last programmed for Win32 but IIRC you would create a new process using either CreateProcess(), CreateProcessAsUser(), CreateProcessWithLogonW(), or CreateProcessTokenW(). However process creation is only half of the fork() call because on Win32 and there is a problem because each process will run as a separate "object" in its own address space. Whereas a fork()ed process *should* be a duplicate of the parent process. It really depends on how you use fork()ed processes and it is possible to emulate *some* fork() functionality using Win32 syscalls only. -- Best Regards, Nimrod A.
