While listening to Frank Adam Pete heard:spawn

G'day Frank

 FA> Hi guys,

 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.

Well in my QC help the're listed as.

     P_NOWAITO     Continues to execute parent process and ignores wait
                   and cwait calls against child process (asynchronous
                   spawnÄÄvalid only in protected mode).

     P_DETACH      Continues to execute parent process concurrently
                   with child process. Child process is detached from
                   parent's process hierarchy; if parent process is
                   terminated, the child process continues to run
                   (asynchronous spawnÄÄvalid in protected mode only).

They sound like they only apply to multi-tasking OS's

     Pete.
