You can use WinExec(), which is closer to system() than to execv(). Even for a short program, Windows will switch to the full screen (or a window, if you're using a PIF file and have specified windowed mode). File I/O is the easiest way to communicate, but there are definitely better ways, e.g., a shared block of memory. By the way, note that WinExec() is asynchronous, and will probably return before the requested program has completed. Jeff Dean jeff@cdp.igc.org uunet!pyramid!cdp!jeff
