Hi !
I've been working on ZipOMatic lately, but now that I'm
close to finishing it, I don't know how to kill the zip process,
having started it with popen().
It does a lot, but as of yet, no zipping:

I need to open a process (or multiple ones), read it's output,
kill off the process if the user presses Stop, or otherwise wait
for it to terminate.
And it needs to be thread-safe, so, IIRC, no fork()'ing.
(there will be BLoopers around)
So, what are the alternatives to popen() that allows
reading and killing?
Is there a pkill()?
