Reading that part I also found that it is about running DOS processes on MS Windows. I suggest that we rename to to reflect this. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I suggest that we rename to to reflect this. What version of which manual are you reading? In the CVS version (and the one distributed with the pretest), the MS-Windows part _was_ rewritten, and the node's name is "Windows processes". ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Then please explain what places did you want to be changed to talk about Windows as opposed to DOS. I really think the rewrite you were asking for was done already, but maybe I missed some places when I did that. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I would suggest adding that and pushing much of the current node into a subnode about DOS subprocesses. This material might still be valuable, but it is not that common to use DOS subprocesses any more I guess. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
