Background Apps?



	Is there a way for any of my apps to "launch" into the background like
some Unix apps do? (Some apps will only launch if they aren't compiled with
__CYGWIN__)
	However, any app that launches into the background crashes.....

	I happen to remember when I was programming in Visual C++, and made an a
console app that would drop the DOS window (I.E. freeconsole() or
something). Could something similiar be applied here?

	SJ

P.S. I wanted to note that many apps call a header with the name <sys/un.h>
or something. It only contains the following definition:

/*
 * Definitions for UNIX IPC domain.
 */
struct  sockaddr_un {
        short   sun_family;             /* AF_UNIX */
        char    sun_path[108];          /* path name (gag) */
};

	I had to make up one until I found that... so, I implore you, include a
sys/un.h with that in b19. Okay? ;)
