PURPOSE: Executes a specified program or dos command.
UNIT: The DOS unit
REMARKS: Exec takes two arguments including the path of the
filename and the command line. To execute a dos command,
COMMAND.COM must be given as the filename and '/C' must
preceed the command. ie: Exec('COMMAND.COM','/C DIR/P');
NOTE: Errors are reported through DosExitCode and DosError.
RESTRICTIONS: The Exec procedure will not modify memory, therefore
sufficient memory must be available before performing the
Exec procedure or DosError will return a value of 8.
