I need to know how to spawn other Windows programs, i.e. they have
no relation with the program being executed. An example of this would
be the Program Manager, as well as the old MS-DOS Executive, and the
shareware replacement to the Program Manager, Aporia.
 
I have large reservations about the MS-DOS function call "SPAWN"
being the solution since Windows system calls seem to provide almost
everything you need. If anyone can please send me this information
it would be greatly appreciated.
