        Thank you for the links; I really didn't looked at the archives from
the mailing list yet. This is a nice tip.

        It's sad that aren't any comparatives. I might write one when I
finish to study about the differences. This might help people in future with
the same problems. Surely would be nice take a look at .NET interface, but
I'm not sure how good would be java, since the process API problems (and
magic) should be at the virtual machine, not at the API Itself. I already
take a look at QT, as was suggested on the #boost.

        In the next few days I should send a draft from my proposal. Would
be nice if you could revise it, since by what I understand you know a lot
about process. This way, if the proposal has failures, you might advice me
in time.

       Thank you,
