Hi!

I'm just uploading an update of "KProcess" to fiwi.

KProcess is a class that facilitates the handling of child processes for
KDE application programmers. It hides the usual fork/exec/signal stuff
involved with child process monitoring from the application developer and
neatly integrates the necessary mechanisms in the usual "Qt signal/slot
environment".

Added features:

+) No more timer needed to watch out for child processes that have exited!
   (So it would be nice to integrate KProcess into kdisplay and
   kdehelp now... ;-) )

+) Support for communication with the child process through
   stdout/stderr/stdin is now provided! (Thanks to Bertrand Leconte
   for the initial patches!)

   -- Beware, this feature is still a little buggy (especially
      child processes that run only a _very_ short time
      are currently causing headaches. -- Segfaults in a 
      "QGDict" member function are possible. ????)

Asynchronous communication with the child process is now supported.

It basically works the following way:

+) Receiving data:
When data arrives from the child, a Qt signal will notify you of that
event.

+) Sending data to the child process:
You hand over the data you want to pass to the client. When all the data
has been sent to the client, you will be notified by a Qt signal.
