I don't mean to pry here, but I found two ways of doing popen() on
Microsoft's website. I saw the steaming pile of elephant dung that uses
CreateChildProcess() and CreatePipe(), but I also saw that the VC++
6.0 runtime library has another function, _popen(), that claims to do
almost the same thing. Are these the same thing and/or do they have the
same results?
