It is. No matter how many times IBM denies it. They can't even figure out how to spawn a subprocess in Windows using the standard Posix calls. That's why their interactive command tool needs that deranged environment variable thing to get it to talk to the "front-end process of the backend", or whatever the deranged thing is called nowadays.
Fact is: the code IS different and BEHAVES different. Nuff said. Received on Thu Mar 03 2005 - 01:14:43 CST
