Could somebody please give me some pointers or pseudo code to do the
following.

1) Suspend the current program and execute another one (they are both djgpp
programs if it makes a difference)
2) Capture stdout from the child program to a temporary file
3) Read in the temporary file from the parent after the child program has
finished.

I'm only familiar with the unix way of forking and piping, and am not quite
sure which functions (spawn?) I should be looking at and how to do the
redirection.  Presumably just close and dup2 or something but I'm not quite
sure.

cc's to my email appreciated

Thx in advance

Andy
