I've seen a number of programs that spawn other programs (usually
pkzip/unzip or something similar) and display their output in a window
created by the spawning program.

Does anyone have an example of how to do this -- I use Borland Turbo C++
1.0, but only in C mode.  Any help will be appreciated.
