Hi K,
don't know it this concerns you but... i give you a hint i found on the Win32 Perl Programming Book from Dave Roth: " Win 32 pipes are not the same as named piped from other operating systems. A named pipe created on a Win32 machine might not necessarily allow for non-Win32 pipe access. Don't be surprised if a script you write that creates a Win32 named pipe does not interoperate with a client running on a Unix machine." Otherwise, as I asked a while ago for pipes in Rev, i would be very happy to help you on this topic and test your external and may be more ..?... may be we can discuss this off list ? HTH, thierry K> Okay, I am experiencing a oddity I cannot explaine. As I have reported K> on several occasions I have created a external that lanuches a process K> simular to CreateProcess in Windows.

K> Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, K> Kevin _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
