I believe Bill was first :-)  Note that the param order may be different,
and should be made the same.

IMO, yes.

for no good reason, I would lean towards the NT module, but a seperate
source file.

I think the name can be unwieldy, as no one will ever execute this
directly.  The name should reflect its purpose, so no one says "hey - I
never run this .exe, so I can remove it.

>        py_popen9x.exe

I agree with Tim that "popen9x.exe" is fine.

If its not done by the time I return to Oz, I will be happy to do it.
However, I bet Bill beats me too it (unless someone explains to Tim what is
expected of him, and off he goes :-)

Mark.
