Hello Lawrence,

SB> LL> Newbie to C programming here. Am using emx09b and project manager
SB> LL> to learn with. I would like to play around with writing an interface
SB> LL> that would call (amongst others) such programs as PKZIP, zip, pak, arc
SB> LL> etc. Now if I am correct, I believe that the program has to be
SB> LL> spawned in some manner but the couple of C books I have don't seem to
SB> LL> cover how one would go about doing this.

SB> Look at the EMX documentation for SPAWN and EXEC.
