in reply to Getting around Win32 limitations

Be carefull with fork and signals under Windows.
I did not get sensible results with that, it blocks or did not return (I did not try waitpid) so I stuck with the non-portable Win32-API, which changed the whole design of my application.

All cookbook and other demos do work under Linux at home, but you have to test the basics under windows.

Start a little test program before you think about a 'normal' design. Special OS need special treatment.

    Different OS needs different treatment.

    Try to think about it that way!
