Subject: _dup2 and _spawnvp functions needed
Date: Tue, 09 Jul 96 15:57:45 BST



I am using djgpp to port come code from another environment - specifically
and Intel i960 compiler.

It was originally compiled with something else, and the DJGPP v2.0 libraries 
don't seem to have all of the functions that I need.  In particular:

_spawnvp
_dup2
_splitpath
_fullpath

The last two I can hack in C (I have the specification for all of them in the
online help of Microsoft Visual C), and I have already done so successfully.

_spawnvp and _dup2 I have less confidence in my ability to re-write.

Is it possible to use the Microsoft Libraries - technically and legally?
( the program must use DPMI memory etc from protected mode - I suspect the 
Microsoft libraries won't support this)

Does anyone have a library for DJGPP which has these functions, or any idea
of where I could get one?

Or, can anyone tell me how to re-write these functions :-(.

Thanks in advance, and to all those who have already helped me on various 
issues,
