FA> Does someone know what these mean, and what am i about to toss ? FA> #define P_NOWAITO 3 /* ASYNCH, toss RC */ FA> #define P_DETACH 4 /* DETACHED, toss RC */ FA> They're in TurboC's process.h for the spawnxx functions. They're of no use at all in DOS and I think not supported in TC++ Win3.x. They are used for spawning processes which will run concurrently with the process which called spawn*(). P_NOWAITO will run the detached process concurrently with the current process without waiting for a returncode. However the process is run as a child, so it is still possible for the calling process to retrieve return information. P_DETACH starts a completely independent concurrent process. The calling process cannot communicate with it directly, simply by virtue of being its caller. -- Lewin A.R.W.
