[comp.windows.ms] Spawning in Microsoft Windows

johnl@sidd.SanDiego.NCR.COM (John Lesac) (02/13/90)

I am looking for a way to spawn a non-windows program from within a Windows
program and have the Windows program wait for the spawned program to finish.

So far I have tried win_spawn() and Exec(). Both of these functions allow
the Windows program to continue running in the background. I have even 
tried the spawnl function with the P_WAIT option -- it does not wait.

I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give!
