[fpc-pascal] a few AssignStream questions

[Seth Grover]

A few questions about AssignStream:

1. I can't seem to figure out a way to see if the program I ran
actually executed. For example, if I pass in something bogus for the
Prog parameter (some filename that doesn't even exist), I still get a
PID back. It's just that the PID is in a defunct (zombie) state. I
could read the status file in /proc/ for that PID, but that seems
rather a waste to do with each program I execute via AssignStream.

2. Is there a way for me to get the exit code of a program executed
with AssignStream?

Thanks,

Seth
