Freshmeat won't take it because it's too small and simple, yet I'd still
like to make its availability known in case others would find it useful. Any
suggestions?

My version of head does not do the + thing. Were you suggesting that I add
the feature myself, or are you saying that your version of head already does
it?
tail +5 filename is the same as my decap, but I can't do my depod with head
and tail.
Thanks!

OK.Quote:> tail +5 filename is the same as my decap,
Maybe that would be equivalent to what you'd expect head +5 to do ifQuote:> but I can't do my depod with head

1. How to start a new app from code in my app?
Hi,
I have an app, and it needs to start another app.
I tried to use execv(); and it works, but then my app is quitted.
(It seems my process is being replaced with the now app's process)
I don't want this behaviour.
How can I start an app from code, and let the calling app continue
executing?
