A *direct* equivalent to fork(2)? No. The nearest equivalent is System.Diagnostics.Process, which is a fork(2)/exec(3) equivalent. (Minor side question: what would happen if you P/Invoked out to fork(2) in libc.so? Is it safe for managed apps to do that?) I don't think fork(2) would be useful for automatically updating a TreeView, as you'd be creating a new process, duplicating the entire address space (*including* the TreeView, and everything else), and preventing the child process from modifying the TreeView of the parent process (as it's in a different address space). So threads are probably what you want anyway, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking. - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
