[1176]30 Revision 1.5 2000/05/19 04:56:01 sjboddie
31 added gsdl_system function for spawning off new processes under windows
32
[1146]33 Revision 1.4 2000/05/04 05:16:23 sjboddie
34 Moved dm_safe from htmlutils to gsdltools. Also made it escape '\'
35 characters to prevent their mysterious disapearance from things like
36 windows filenames when they get passed through the macro expander.
37
[1076]38 Revision 1.3 2000/04/06 19:58:01 cs025
39 Correcting a correction - reinstated all lib files due to silly
40 CVS confusion.

42 Revision 1.1 2000/02/29 01:37:00 sjboddie
