[GRASS5] Re: installation/compiling instruction for GRASS on

Hi Malcolm.

My memory is that I wasn't able to get the CELL driver working on '98 at the
time, which backs up your suspicion!

I can imagine that given the complexity of the Grass drivers compared to a
small test program, it may well still be fork().  I was reading about how
the Cygwin people implemented fork() yesterday and it sounds dodgey.  Maybe
Grass does something relating to program state that the test program doesn't
highlight.

I tried different socket communication modes for the CELL driver, without
success, in case it was sockets causing the problem.

I believe so.

Thanks - I'll try again also later this week.
