subject: Running external programs

Hi All...................:-)

   Due to some problems with my mail feed, we missed a couple days worth of
mail so am not sure if anyone has (or is going to) reply to my previous
message concerning syntax for running external programs.  Anyways, here is
the outline again just in case....................

   I am a newbie to C programming, am using EMX v.09b for learning etc.  I
would like to tinker around with making an interface that would call (run)
external programs such as PKzip, ARC, LHA etc etc. (Old hat to many I'm
sure but I thought it might be interesting and provide me with a good
learning experience.........I hope! )

   Anyways, my books don't seem to mention how to go about doing this.  Any
suggestions folks? :-)
