Ed (Russinovich & Solomon), p. 60: > p.394: Thanks, but none of that seems germane to the question I was really asking. Those quotes don't say, for example "NtCreateProcess will return ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER if a win32-ss application tries to pass the COPY_ON_WRITE_FLAG but will accept the flag when called by a posix-ss application". Corinna explained it from the angle I was looking at. Now, who supposes you could work around the restriction by writing * (WORD *) 0x004000dc = POSIX_CUI; just before calling NtSetInformation? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
