Hi,

I have this very simple C program:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
  char a[] = "echo echo testing 123";
  system(a);
  return 0;
}

I compile it with gcc and everything works fine, until I run it under Win2K's cmd.exe: the program just exits and does nothing.

I have set up the PATH environment variable, and it still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Maor Avni
