Calling external exe in separate shell?

[Souldrift]

Hi there, I got trouble with calling externals. Maybe somebody can help me. I used to call external programs (exe-files) with the system() call. Now I want to start an external program in a seperate shell (and as a separate process). Can anybody tell me how to do that? Thanks a lot. Souldrift

call a batch file. In it can you create an own environment.

Use one of the exec()[^] calls. They create a separate process and also allow some communication with the parent.
