Silly question here. Who are you *spawning* a program from Pascal? Turbo Pascal will let you EXEC a program (ie, run it on top of the program doing the EXEC) if the first program has left enough RAM free. But I thought that spawning was either running the second program simultaneously or loading it and pulling the other out from under it. Either way, this is *not* supported by Turbo Pacasl. I'd take a real hard look at your "spawn" function, as it can't *possibly* be standard. -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.scn.rain.com CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com FIDO: 1:105/56 Leonard.Erickson@f56.n105.z1.fidonet.org (The CIS address is checked daily.
