> Why such a rumour about spawning other applications ? > > Simply use spawnlp() or a similar call from the C library (the windows > version of course) with a P_WAIT or P_NOWAIT parameter.

Any of these methods should be surrounded by LockData/UnlockData. --Bill Turner (bturner@hp-pcd.hp.com) HP Corvallis Information Systems
