I don't expect any trouble :) [other win95/98/me issues] The other issue I ran across has nothing to do with IPv6, but with starting another aplication using backticks or similar methods: this works ok when it is a 32-bit console app, but hangs when it starts a 16-bit app... There is a simple fix, even though it is not pretty: create a 32-bit stub application that calls the 16-bit app, and call the stub from php. I know it has something to do with redirecting stdin and out, but I don't know how to fix it. I have tried some alternative techniques, like using command /c and writing my own 'execute' function with windows-calls like CreateProcess and such, but the problem is persistent. My own execute-function did have the added benefit of being able to hide the console-window that starts the process, so I kept it :-) BTW, this is not a problem unique to PHP, other applications may experience the same problem. In fact, the stub-solution came from the MS site (Q150956).... This was posted mainly for the archives, but I added a note to the documentation as well. Cheerio, Marc.
