On simtel20.army.mil, PD1:<MSDOS.PGMUTL>EXEC23.ZIP

This swaps your program to either EMS or hard disk before doing the EXEC call.
It's very similar to Ralf Brown's spawn30 routines for TC and MSC, but this
one also works with TP and includes source.  EXEC23 uses up a little more
memory than Ralf's stuff (2K vs 1K), but then Ralf's stuff doesn't work 
directly with TP :-(
