Any way to simulate Process.fork() on Windows?

Any way to simulate Process.fork() on Windows? I need to use a library that seems to be making the assumption that Process.fork() is available.

See the link given by caliban, but if it's too technical then the simple answer is : Not easily possible, as the Unix and Windows models for process operations differ by too much. The link suggests that Cygwin can, with a truly heroic effort, make Windows work as Unix (I would like to see it working before I believe in it). I would suggest that you replace your forks by spawns for improved compatibility.
