Hi everybody,

I'm having some trouble with invoking a secondary command processor.
What I'd like to do is call from a program (written in Modula-2 or C) a
string such as 'sort < a > b' to sort a data file.

I've looked at a DOS reference, and couldn't find anything. I recall
reading somewhere, maybe on the net, about a way to pass a string to the
command processor already resident.

Does anybody have any ideas?
