> BTW, this merely a suggestion, I have no idea how spawn is implemented.

unfortunately, spawn() is a sort-of standard, so we can't go around
changing the parameters.  If you're trying to implement fork(), you'll
need to do the dup() in your fork code.

No.  DJGPP doesn't allow concurrent processing.  The parent waits
until the child exits.

Windows supports concurrent processing, but dos (djgpp) doesn't.
