On Win32, it uses +CreateProcess. Since we can set the standard handles, we can mimic +UNIX pipes on Win32 by building chains of processes. + +Run the application by typing ./process [filename]. It creates a new +process to print the contents of <filename> (default is the name of +the file "process.cpp") to the main console. So all you should see is +process.cpp printed to the screen.
