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?
Yes that's possible, but what you can't do is create a new pipe and attach both stdout and stderr to it. Cheers, Simon
