Re: Launching eb-lite from perl with open2

Hello again,

you don't happen to have the sh launching code at hand. I have been
trying with perl but I just don't know what I am doing wrong...
Perhaps if I can see (and understand ;) the mechanism under sh I can
port it to perl...

                           S             t          e      p    h  e n!
:wq
