I have tried to run another program from a djpgg program using system(),
but MSDOS tells me that the program is too large to the memory (the
error message is in a very strange language, and I don't know the
accurate English phrasing). I have no problems using system() to run
programs compiled with djgpp, or programs my mate has compiled with
Lahey Fortran90, though they are larger than the program I need to run.
Only this one old program compiled with an unknown compiler causes
problems. MSDOS command MEM (invoked with the same system() command)
says that the largest executable program size should be 550K, and the
program I try to run is 273K, and still it is too large. Any advice?
