Why do this extra work instead of simply upgrading to 6.8.3?
Mainly because 6.8.2 is installed on my Ubuntu system using a pre-compiled package (including a bunch of pre-compiled libraries). I much prefer to use the the native packaging system because most of the time it works so much better than anything else. Also, the "extra work" became a few minor tweaks to this code: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/newpopen/System/Process/Run.hs Cheers, Erik -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Using Java as a general purpose application development language is like going big game hunting armed with Nerf weapons." -- Author Unknown
