What does RB's Shell class call?

Thx!
REALbasic, on Mac OS X, currently invokes /bin/sh with the "-c"
option, passing in the user's input afterwards. This is done after
a fork if using Asynchronous or Interactive mode. I'm not the
engineer that wrote the code, but I assume that the reason for
having "sh" execute the command is simply because it will setup a
minimal environment to operate in and parse the command given
properly. It is very likely that any of the shells (which we're
using sh for no particular reason) will convert line endings such
that the terminals won't have to grok them. A way to verify that
this is happening is in the terminal to write:
/bin/sh -c "cat /foo/bar" > out.txt
Sorry, not verified. My sample file - which gets changed using the Shell
class - doesn't show up any difference using your method.
Even if I use gcc-4.0 as the input file, everything remains identical.
I might write a sample C app, which writes any byte value. But 80K
gcc-4.0
is quite likely to have any byte values inside too.
