Hello,

I was reading already some documentation, newsgroup
and FAQ about DJGPP but I could not find a good answer
to following question.  

Is it possible to call a conventional 16bit DOS
program within the 32bit environment?

For example:
1) I use a GNU shell provided by djgpp.
   Can I start a 16bit DOS program (foo.exe)
   from this shell?

     bash> foo

2) I have a 32bit application and want to call
   foo.exe within that program with a
   "system()"-like call. Is this possible?

Christian
