I thought NT and more recent was Posix compliant... Surely it should support posix signals?

Don't believe the hype. As I understand it, NT has a POSIX subsystem, which is entirely separate from the Win32 subsystem - you can't run a process which uses both APIs simultaneously. And the POSIX subsystem is *very* minimal, I doubt it has full support for signals. Cheers, Simon
