Hi!

I realize this question may be an insult to some people on this forum, but here it comes ...

How do I start a plain vanilla process (in my case a scheme interpreter), and get get access to its stdin and stdout?
My problems:
a) NeXT Speaker/Listener classes are TRUE goodies, unfortunately, my scheme interpreter is just your average C coded Unix app reading/ writing to stdin/sdout.
b) Ha! The Subprocess class of NeXTStep 2.0 is even BETTER,
:-(
but I'm working under 1.0!
c) I'm not quite sure where and how to place my forks, pipes, etc. in my App ... is there anything I need to be aware  of that's special to ObjC?
d) What I want to do is really just a new front end to an old app ....

THANKS!
