The path / the program and the commands (if given) are all in the same string. How can I execute those single strings via spawn or exec ? It looks (in the docs) that spawn/exec need much more params as I have. Ohh ... the program which I want to execute out of my program is a dos real mode program and it should not executed within the 640KB because there is not enough free if my own program runs. Many thanks in advance ! Bye, ^Hawk^ - the DarkSoft-Productions @ www.darksoft.net
