Does the call-process function work under VMS? When I try to use it, it fails "Searching for program". Is there a way to trick it into finding it, maybe by setting exec-path to something? What should I set it to? Is there any way to set it up so that I can run DCL commands? If I do get it set up so that emacs can find the command, will the vfork() and subsequent execvp() in child_setup() work properly? (I am aware of the subprocess-command stuff in vmsproc.el, but I want to run synchronous processes to do things like fetch from CMS.) -- Ken Laprade ARPA: laprade@trantor.harris-atd.com Harris Corporation - GISD UUCP: ...uunet!x102a!trantor!laprade Palm Bay, Florida voice: (407)727-4433
