Well, yes and no. Exec on NT and 95 is really a mess. The problem
is not with the Jacl code but with the Sun implementation of
java.lang.Runtime.exec(). I assume from the error you are getting
that you are running JDK 1.1. JDK 1.2 fixes some of these exec problems
but also adds other problems so that is not a perfect fix. I have
been able to run the exec tests cases on a NT box here in the lab
but NT is really strange and the tests do not always work. It took
a lot of testing and debugging just to get the jacl exec to the point
it is now (take a look at the Jacl exec source, it is ugly). To be
honest, I do not think I am going to be spending any more time
getting exec working under NT or 95. If anyone else wants to work
on the problem I would be happy to give out my test cases.
