+
+These changesets involved:
+
+- a README on SafeProcess?
+
+- the remaining 2 instances of using Runtime.exec/Java Process in Gatherer have been ported to using SafeProcess?. These instances were of the inner classes Gatherer.ExternalApplication? and Gatherer.BrowserApplication?, both of which needed SafeProcess? to have the cancel functionality before they could be ported to use SafeProcess?. Tested the modified inner classes on Linux.
+
+When tested on Mac, I found that with or without these new changes, GLI does not wait to exit if external applications are still running. On Linux (and the way GLI is coded), GLI's GUI may disappear, but the overall GLI process still waits for external processes launched via GLI to have exited before GLI exits. This doesn't happen on Mac with either the original or the modified code. Worth investigating. But at least the modified code has not broken something that used to work.
