[fpc-pascal] Redirecting input to a child process

[Ludo Brands]

Anton,

According to msdn
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365782%28v=vs.85%29.aspx the pipe
handles should be created non-inheritable in order to detect EOF. Looking at
fcl-process/src/win/pipes.inc, pipes are created inheritable... The msdn
sample code to redirect input and output also creates 2 pipes
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682499%28v=vs.85%29.aspx).

Thank you, Ludo, this is great!

But why doesn't the process finish? I thought that the clos- ing of the
write end of the StdIn pipe handle should cause a EOF to be 'seen' at the
read end, but this does not happen.

Maybe these's some explicit way to signal end of input?
