The Subject says pretty well what I want: to redirect the output from, or input to, a program run from one of the spawnxx() functions. Can it be done? As an example, suppose your program spawned a program that might need a long list of files and that doesn't in its own design take a command line option giving a file name of a file containing those file names. If one could redirect such a file into the program, one might avoid rerunning the spawned program over and over until the list of files is exhausted. I'm using TC2/MSC6. Thanks in advance for any ideas and comments, yea or nea. -- Frank Burleigh burleigh@cica.cica.indiana.edu USENET: ...rutgers!iuvax!cica!burleigh BITNET: BURLEIGH@IUBACS.BITNET Department of Sociology, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405
