It is something in RSXNTDJ that is causing the problem. When
I compile the program with gcc -Zwin32 the system call does
not work if command line options are used. It generates a BAD COMMAND
or FILENAME error. If I compiled it without using the -Zwin32
option it works as it should. I have tried the suggestions people
have replied with, but none of them have made a difference.
Does anyone have any other ideas? 
 
thanks Jonathan Swaby
