Lovely....  I spent $15 for a component I really didn't need. :-(  Oh
well, it works.
BS>  Const s : string = '' ;
BS>  .......
BS>  s := TimeToStr(Time) ;
BS>  WinExecAndWait(.......... ;
BS>  MessageDlg('Spawned task was started at ' + s
BS>             +'.  This dialog appeared at ' + TimeToStr(Time),
BS>             mtInformation,[mbOK],0) ;
BS>Can someone please confirm or deny Tommy's suspicion that WinExecAndWait
BS>will not work correctly under Win95 ?
I am probably wrong.  It was based on a statement in a book, which was
trying to push the WIN32 method of launching other programs, which I
really wasn't interested in trying to figure out at the time.  That's
what I get for being lazy.   Right now, I't trying to figure out the
ListView control.  I've has some extremely bizarre behavior from it...
