From 49084ad6fc1246fb5a27c79a391ccf68a72be1ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kaz Kylheku Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2022 14:01:27 -0700 Subject: doc: remove references to non-fork platforms. * txr.1: Remove references to limitations in open-process on platforms which don't have fork. It's simply not implemented on those platforms at all any more. This documentation referred to a MinGW port of TXR which has not been maintained in many years. Also remove text which says that open-subprocess is only available on platforms with fork. --- txr.1 | 19 +++---------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/txr.1 b/txr.1 index 05977ad2..5655be59 100644 --- a/txr.1 +++ b/txr.1 @@ -62534,9 +62534,7 @@ situation also.
