- Hi y'all. I haven't yet received any mail from this list, so I don't know if
- this is the right kind of question to address here, but I joined in order to
- ask this question:
-
- Some years ago I worked with MS-Pascal, and used a method to load a desired
- string into the DOS command line, so that that command was executed when the
- application completed. This was the best way I know of to chain from one
- program to another. I'm now working with Turbo Pascal 5.0, and would like to
- know if someone has code which will do this in Turbo Pascal. (I don't have the
- MS-Pascal code that did this any longer). Basically I need something that will
- set the next command to execute WITHOUT using EXEC (I can't afford the memory
- to shell the command).
-
- Thanks,
