# To subscribers of the xforms list from AMIT BHATNAGAR <amit@cs.dal.ca> :

I am not sure how Xforms would handle the following situation. My GUI that
I have built in xforms will have to pass strings back and forth between
the program and itself. Now I plan to handle this by piping the messages
over.. which means that my gui would have to fork a child and then exec my
program.

Now.. if I fork off the program in main(), will my callbacks still be able
to work? It is the callbacks that send the appropriate string to the
program..

if I fork the program after the fl_do_forms.. would that work?
