/disclaimer: haven't looked at your code/
voicechecker & fpcup contains a wrapper around TProcess[1] that lets you
easily get output. See the convenience functions ExecuteCommand etc.

An example of use: pinging a host on OSX, can be found in voicechecker's
pingtest.pas [2]

It works well for voicechecker, fpcup and some other projects
