Passing arguments on Windows (XP)

Hi,

I'm trying to put a Tk front-end onto a program I've been given
which reads from stdin.

Looking at the manual, it seems that I could do this with exec,
getting the prgram to read from a socket and writing the arguments to
that socket. However, I'm on Windows, and the manual says that reading/
writing from/to a socket doesn't work on Windows.

Is there a mechanism that DOES work, other then writing a
temporary file, which I can see would work, but seems inelegant.

TIA
Alan
