Hi all, The topic of creating a unified API for open3 for Windows came up at RubyConf 2004 this year. Park, I was wondering if you would mind if we modified win32_popen so that the API matches the open3 library that ships with Ruby. This also means deciding whether or not to leave in the open2, open4, and posix stuff. I guess it doesn''t hurt to leave this in, although Open3.open4 seems a bit off ;) I suppose we could argue that "Open3" was...

In my previous mail the last line was supposed to be: "It turns out I probably won''t use fork unless support FOR STREAMS is added to it." aslak

Hi all, I was just refactoring some of the win32_popen code, and I saw this a few times: rb_raise(...); return Qnil; Is there any way it will ever reach the return? Isn''t the rb_raise() going to return? Or is there a good reason for this? Just curious. Dan In the immortal words of Socrates, "I drank what?"

Hi all, I''ve got an initial version of Open3.popen3 checked into CVS, along with a test suite, a sample program and some of the usual files (README, etc). This is just Park''s win32_popen package stripped down and modified to match the Open3 API. So far, so good. For the first release, I''ve decided that we should strip it down to popen3 only. We can always add popen2 and popen4 back in later. Also, I''ve dropped support for Win9x or ME. What''s left?...
