Does anyone know of a way to get behavior identical to Manx's exec family of
routines in Lattice?  I need to chain one program to another, loading the
second program over top of the first.  Manx does this beautifully, but Lattice
doens't seem to be able to do it at all.  system() and the fork routines all
start up new processes, and that's no good for what I want to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  This is the only problem holding me
back from switching to Lattice.
