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

I have a question that may seem off topic, but hopefully I can get a
decent response here.

I use popen to fork and create the pipes between my parent and a
spawned program. now popen returns a file * so i can simply do fprintfs to
communicate with the spawn'd programs STDIN..

however, this does not work.. popen will spawn the other program but it
will not accept any input that I send to it from m y parent. Any ideas?

Someone had mentioned "curses" ... does this ring a bell with anyone?
