process* in MSDOS (Win 95) ?

[John Clonts <jclonts@mastnet.net>]

Whenever I try to read from the stdout of a process*, it returns #<eof>.

To wit:

(define cmd "d:\\djgpp\\johnsrc\\misc\\a.exe")
(define ports (process* cmd))
(define (status) ((list-ref ports 4) 'status))
(define (readnext)(read (car ports)))

> (status)
done-ok
> (readnext)
#<eof>


(My a.exe writes "hello\nworld" to stdout).

Is this a limitation, bug, or am I misusing this facility in some way?

Cheers,
John
