However there are a lot of console windows flashing up when I run external processes using Open3::popen3 (because I want to capture their stdout and stderr). I believe that creating a process without CREATE_NO_WINDOW in rubyw is a bug, as the whole point of rubyw is that it doesn't pop up a console. If there is agreement I'm happy to file a bug report/submit a patch. Cheers, James -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
