I would like to make my PASCAL program to use another file that is either in the current directory, or in the path. For example, I might want a program to run McAfee's SCAN on a set of files, or I might want to run PKZIP. Is there a way to do this from within a PASCAL program...? ./*- -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ storm@cs.mcgill.ca McGill University It's 11pm, do YOU Marc Wandschneider Montreal, CANADA know what time it is? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the {$M} directive to give the executed file some space to run SwapVectors Exec ... SwapVectors Read the manual on these commands.

See your manual for the exec keyword, or /pc/ts/tsfaq17d.arc for the trick. ...................................................................
