Subject: Gettig the pid of a process started with Win32_popen

Hi, 

I have a problem with getting the pid of a program I opened with the
popen2-method of the Win32_popen-Module. When I start my program with 
popen2 (on NT 4.0) I see two new processes in the process list. One is 
the program I started the other is a CMD.exe.
Now I can communicate with the programm via pipes and it works fine. But 
now I want to kill the program again (with the kill-method) of the Module 
and I need the pid for it. 
I tried to get the pid with IO#pid (using one of the pipes) but it returns 
the pid of the CMD.exe. 
Does anybody know a way to get the right pid (or better to avoid to start 
the CMD.exe while starting my program)?

Thanks

Oliver
