Under win32, have the JDK1.1.3 Runtime.exec() any subprocess,
then have subProcess.waitFor() executed in an attempt to wait for
the subprocess to finish. Perhaps it's only my but code I doubt
it. When I attempted this it either hung, or crashed windows 95.

   private void ProcessInput()
   {
      Process subProcess;
      Runtime thisRuntime = Runtime.getRuntime();

         try
         {
            subProcess = thisRuntime.exec(CommandLine);
            subProcessOutput = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(subProc
ess.getInputStream()) );

            subProcess.waitFor();
}

         catch(InterruptedException thisException)
         {
            Daemon.SysFatalError(thisException, "ProcessInput() exec");
         }
    }

This isn't the entire source, but what I believe is relevant to the problem.
Please contact me if anyone would like to see the whole package.
