What happens to stderr with this function, by the way? Is it tied to stdout (probably the right thing to do), or to /dev/null, or is it closed (eek!)?
None of the above :) Currently it's inherited from the parent. Unfortunately it's not easy to tie stderr and stdout to the same pipe - createProcess can't do that, and readProcess is defined in terms of it.
I don't understand the restriction. What if we just pass stdout as the handle to use for stdout and stderr. The types say that's possible, so what would go wrong? Duncan
