Nothing you show needs a call to the function system.  All of them can
easily be done in your program.  You do a directory with FindFirstFile,
FindNextFile and FindClose and writing the results to the screen.  You do a
pause by writing a prompt and waiting for a key to be pressed.  Look in the
Windows help file for docs on those functions, win32.hlp

For an example of what I am saying, build this as a console mode program and
run it:

  ----------------------------
  #include <windows.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <conio.h>

  void DoDir()
    {
    WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd;
    HANDLE          find_handle;

    find_handle = FindFirstFile("*.*", &wfd);

    if (find_handle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
      {
      char current_dir[MAX_PATH + 1];
      int  num_files = 0;
      int  num_dirs = 0;
      unsigned long size_sum = 0;

      GetCurrentDirectory(sizeof(current_dir), current_dir);
      printf("Directory of %s\n\n", current_dir);

      do
        {
        FILETIME   ft;
        SYSTEMTIME st;

        FileTimeToLocalFileTime(&wfd.ftLastWriteTime, &ft);
        FileTimeToSystemTime(&ft, &st);

        printf("%02u/%02u/%04u  %02u:%02u %s    ",
               st.wMonth, st.wDay, st.wYear,
               st.wHour % 12, st.wMinute,
               (st.wHour >= 12) ? "PM" : "AM");

        char *filename = wfd.cFileName;

        if (wfd.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
          {
          ++num_dirs;
          printf("%-15s%s\n", "<DIR>", filename);
          }
        else
          {
          ++num_files;
          size_sum += wfd.nFileSizeLow;
          printf("%6s%8u %s\n", " ", wfd.nFileSizeLow, filename);
          }
        } while (FindNextFile(find_handle, &wfd));

      FindClose(find_handle);
      printf("%16d File(s) %13u bytes\n", num_files, size_sum);
      printf("%16d Dir(s)\n", num_dirs);
      }
    }

  void DoPause()
    {
    printf("Press any key to continue . . . ");

    if (!getch())
      getch();
    }

  int main()
    {
    DoDir();
    DoPause();
    return 0;
    }
  ----------------------------
