I have been unsuccessful. Basically, I have client and server software running on separate machines. After the connection is made, the server process forks, and the spawned child process calls "execv" with the proper arguments. We are using 4.4BSD and IBM AIX 3.0. I would like to see sample code if possible. Thanks in advance. Gary garyb@erinet.com
