I'm trying to write an application that will run another program and get that program's output so it can be displayed to the user (much like an editor runs a compiler and sends the compiler's output to the user).  Does anyone have any Ideas on how to accomplish this?  Execing another programs certainly is no problem, I just don't see how to get the output from that program.
