Hi,
   I am a new OS/2 programmer, and I have two questions here:

   1. Is there any way to kill an OS/2 process which is currently blocking?
      I have tried the following methods but they all failed:
      a. close the window;
      b. using "kill" in ps utility;
      c. using DosKillProcess().

   2. Is there any function calls in OS/2 performing exactly the same
      functionality as "fork()" does in UNIX? I have used DosExecPgm(),
      spawn(), but the child process they created did not really inherit
      everything its parent process has.

      Thanks a lot,

      David
