I need to use a library that seems to be making the assumption that Process.fork() is available. On Windows it is not. I tried installing Cygwin with the idea that it might simulate this. Didn't work. Any other ideas to get this working on Windows (Vista-32)?

See the link given by caliban, but if it's too technical then the simple answer is : Not easily possible, as the Unix and Windows models for process operations differ by too much. The link suggests that Cygwin can, with a truly heroic effort, make Windows work as Unix (I would like to see it working before I believe in it). I would suggest that you replace your forks by spawns for improved compatibility. | |||
