Process wrapper for piped processes in Win32

Overview

Project Description

ProcessWrapper is a plugin + wrapper code for Win32 process execution with non-blocking stdin, stdout and stderr support.

The project aims to give features similar to OSProcess, but it's not related to it in any other way.

To try it:

load the ProcessWrapper-Core package via Monticello
get the plugin: loading the Monticello package offers the automatic download of the plugin, or you can download it by: ProcessWrapper downloadPlugin.

print it:

ProcessWrapper new
    useStdout;
    startWithShellCommand: 'echo hello';
    upToEnd

The plugin code is available here, under the MIT licence.

Caveats:

#closeStdout and #closeStderr will block the image in most cases. Don't use them unless you know what you're doing.
#exitCode crashes the image if the process hasn't terminated yet. Use #isRunning and #waitForExitFor: before #exitCode to avoid these crashes.
After loading a new Monticello version the plugin is not updated (use ProcessWrapper >> #checkPlugin)

What might come next:

A console for cmd.exe might be a nice example
