The fun side of being open source is also this one. As Ive said before I can try to help with this object from 16th up, but even so I'd never would do it for Windows, simply because I have no interest in it :) But once again, the beauty of open source is that if a thing is readable enough and easily extensible, it then can be altered to fit more operating systems. (beware that the differences between OSs will show at some point... that's something to consider*).
- i.e.: I have no clue on how to run a process on the background of the
shell in Win. Nor how to kill a process, and so forth...
me neither. but i do know that there are no signals in w32 as we know them from un*x. if an object is designed around features not available on a certain platform, chances are low that the object will ever be available on this very platform, regardless of whether there is a team of experts waiting to port it or not.
