There should be none. The best example of such an executions is compiling some project with djgpp. You invoke GNU make (djgpp-compilled) which in turn starts, for example, cc1.exe and the latter invokes cpp.exe, ld.exe & as.exe. So there!

Both ^^^^^^^^^that might be a problem. Check out the FAQ (sorry but don't remember which section). It says that QDPMI is sometimes incompatible with djgpp programs. Remove it from your system and try to run tclsh with CWSDPMI (make sure you have the latest version - revision 2). >tclsh and djgpp were compiled with djgpp v2.0. I didn't see >anything obvious in the FAQ or info pages that helped. Again, this is probably QDPMI problem - search FAQ for Quarterdeck.
