I am not sure how to easily test if a separate process can do the same. I am sure it can be done, but for me it was enough to see that it works in a single process. Unix isn't very process-centered for I/O, so I don't think it would make much of a difference. Now, Win32, that might be an issue. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
