In my C program, I have some code as follows:

...
...
commands
...

WinExec ("whatever", SW_HIDE);

more commands

"whatever" is a DOS program of which I had set up a PIF file (set to
Exclusive Execution).  "whatever" is a program which does some file
manipulation and may take some long amount of time to finish.
The problem is I want "whatever" to completely finish what it's doing
before Windows runs "more commands" which follow the WinExec (above).
How do I do this?

Is there something in the Advanced options I'm supposed to fiddle with?
