Hi PhiHo,
So, does OSProcess work on your WindowXP machine when you add the
DLL after the change set is loaded?

That's right, stdOut is not yet implemented for Windows. This will be
easy to add, but the hard part is that we need to have non-blocking
read and write to Windows anonymous pipes, otherwise the Squeak VM will
lock up when doing command pipelines. I have some ideas on how to do
this, but it might take some time to implement, so I went ahead and
released the Windows OSProcess without this.

You can see the problem for yourself if you create a new OSPipe and
read from it. If there is no data in the pipe, your VM will lock up
and you will need to do <ctl><alt><del>. This would not be good if
you were trying to read and write to an external program (HUGS) and
there was no data to read.
