Yes. Launch the program B via the START.EXE utility that is part of
Windows, like this:
system ("start.exe B.exe");

Actually, the above doesn't stop program A. Is that a problem?
Note that programs which you start like above don't inherit file handles,
so you cannot run them with their standard handles redirected. You also
cannot pass long command lines, because START.EXE is not a DJGPP program.
