an OS-independent executeFile??
Hello, I have been looking through Hackage and using Hoogle to "fork and execute" a program in an OS-independent way, i.e. neutral from POSIX and Win32 APIs. Does such a library function exist? Regards, Vasili

System.Process.createProcess ( http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/process/System-Process.htm... ) works on both Unix and Windows.[1] jcc [1] This is not the same as OS-independent!
ok .. how about API independent? ;^)

Last I checked VMS, OS/360 (NB: not dead by a long shot), etc. had APIs too. What you really mean is `does not break when run against Windows's pseudo-POSIX API despite Microsoft's best efforts' :) jcc
