Whenever I call it and the file IS NOT an executable the whole program crashes. I know, you aren't supposed to be trying to execute the file in the first place, but isn't there a way to TRAP the error and not cause a crash if the program is not an executable? COMMAND.COM doesn't crash if you try to run CONFIG.SYS! Can anyone point me in the right directions? Thanks, Paul
