One of the restraints is that the redirection must be done in the parent process (the child is a tool that I don't want to change the source for). This must be a commonly done thing since it is what the shell does when pipes are used with process's. Send any ideas, information, stuff to druxr!gsc Thanks in advance Gary Cage
