Hi,

I'd like to know if it's possible for a called program (with "exec"
command) to access the same global variable as the calling program,
a sort of shared variable between 2 programs.

For example, if a static variable "a" is declared in a header file
included in 2 differents programs "prog1.exe" and "prog2.exe". If 
"prog1.exe" calls "prog2.exe", is it possible that prog2 uses the same
global variable than prog1 ?

Thanks.

Michael.
