>From reading the Cygwin FAQ ("In most cases, you are better off using the spawn family of calls if possible.") and the Cygwin Highlights ("Fortunately, in most circumstances the spawn family of calls provided by Cygwin can be substituted for a fork/exec pair with only a little effort."), it sounds like there exists a family of API calls that may help me avoid the 'Resource temporarily unavailable' errors from calling fork(). However, I can't find any documentation on these spawn functions. I recoded my application to use posix_spawn() but I am getting the same 'Resource temporarily unavailable' error so I suspect that it is using fork() as well. I did try the 'rebaseall' process to remove the error, but without any success. I also checked the BLODA list. I have no problem doing some recoding of my application to reliably solve my issues with fork() -- can you all point me in the direction of the 'spawn family of calls'? Steve Bardwell
