> Maybe it's just me, but I've always liked fork.

yeah, i kinda like it too.

on the one had we have fork() -- zero arguments.

then, we have on NT CreateProcess() which takes 10 arguments and two of
those are structs (iirc).  now the only _feature_ here is that all the args and
and values in the structs can be either 0 or NULL;  write once, copy and paste
everywhere.

maybe it's just me.  if 10 was 0?
