Hi
I'm trying to integrate some legacy code, compiled in DJGPP, with a java
app.
The java app calls the DJGPP-compiled app.exe with a system call
(System.exec("app.exe")).
As I understand this function it should run the app "as if" from the DOS
command line.
BUT the DJGPP app never exits, thus blocking the java app forever.  When run
from the command line app.exe is fine.
I made a really simple DJGPP app to test this, and it was exactly the same -
the process never exits, and the java is held up forever.
Any ideas why this should happen?

thanks

RB
