HELP ME...... I've Had it.

I want to spawn a command form a C program and have the output 
redirected to a file. (I'd also like to know when the process
has completed - ie wait for the process to complete)

I found forkl,forkv two of my freinds in past C expeditions on other systems.

so I try 

forkl("zoo","zoo","l",archivename,NULL,env,&child);

where
struct FORKENV *env

to redirect the output I need to do what??????

I tried env->std_out = filehandle (which read env->stdout in the man)

where filehandle has equaled int, FileHandle *, FILE *; I even set
env->std_out = stdout -- which hangs the machine.

PLEASE HELP ME -- I JUST SPENT 8 Hours trying to do this and I'm pretty fed
Up with the documentation and the computer.

Thanks for your Understanding and help.

PS. I don't read this newsgroup and therefore request a direct reply.
Thanks again
