}Zortech C/C++ comes with library routines to do just this. All you need
}to do is link in a special .OBJ file, and then use system and spawn calls
}normally. It is the same technique used by our own tools (ZWB).

If you already have a C or C++ compiler, you can save $$$ by grabbing the
free SPAWNO30.ZIP from SIMTEL20 (in PD1:<MSDOS.C>).  It's pretty much a
one-for-one replacement for the standard Turbo/MS C spawn..() functions
which leaves less than 500 bytes in memory while the child program runs.
In fact, it can be dropped into many existing programs by merely adding
an #include and two #define's.
