- The problem:
- I want to execute a child process from a Windows application (devepoled with
- Borland C++ 4.5). The child process is the execution of a DOS program).
- - execl() is launching the child process (sometimes under other windows - I
- have to use ALT+TAB to bring the child process foreground).
- ...but when I am exiting the child process my Windows application is no
- longer running
- - system() doesn't work. I am getting just the DOS prompt. EXITing I am back in
- my Windows application.
-
-
- Does anybody know the solution ?
