   Hi Marco,   
   I will have a look at the TProcess class, thanks, does it work under   
   windows too ?   
      
   In the last thread in borland.public.kylix.linuxapi, they talk about a   
   way to capture the output of a console program Libc.popen(), is it   
   somehow related to the pipe thing ?   
      
   I am new to both Linux and pascal :-)   
      
   thanks
