- In NT, a Win32 program can use CreateProcess() to execute another program,
- without worrying about whether it is a POSIX, Win32, DOS, or whatever,
- program. Does a similar facility exist for a POSIX program? I have tried
- the exec?() family, but they seem only able to execute another POSIX
- program, and return with an error if the program is a Win32 or DOS program.
-
- Is there another function that will do what I want, or is it just not
- something that is possible to do from within the POSIX subsystem?
-
- Thanks.
