I posted this the other day, which turned out to be wrong (as System()
will not handle tags on the stack...)

>>rc = System(argv[1],
>>            SYS_Input, infile,
>>            SYS_Output, outfile,
>>            SYS_Asynch, FALSE,    
>>            TAG_DONE
>>            );

Ewout sent me some mail, as follows:

>>Ken, System() is tag, not stack based. So he'd have to do something like

So, you have to put the tags into an array, then call System() with a
pointer to the name of the command and a pointer to the tag array.
Live and learn.
