interesting read.  Thanks.  Susan, are you taking over the windows port? 
from this, does it appear that java will need separate spawn classes for 
each OS?

John, if you read the documentation I referred to earlier for Apache Commons
Exec you will learn that there are unfortunately numerous OS-dependent
pitfalls to the use of Runtime.exec().  This is certainly not an area I know
anything about but I do find Apache information to be generally quite
realiable.

You only need to read a bit of this tutorial to realize the need for
expertise in this area.
