Hi Arunabh,

I am not too familiar with Scratch, but I think that it is distributed
with a different version of the Squeak VM that probably does not have
the OSProcessPlugin that would be required. Also, you will need to
use ProcessWrapper on Windows.

So no, I do not think this approach will work for Scratch on Windows.

Sorry,
Dave
