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