In the text interface, a simple system() was all that was needed. Now that I've converted to a windows interface, all I get when i WinExec is the "unknown .EXE type" error. The system() program isn't included in the libraries that the STK built. ? : Is there a trick I'm missing or do I have to extract the system() call from the regular lib. and link it in as an obj? Any help would be appreciated. -- Russell Dickerson Internet: dickerson@vf.jsc.nasa.gov Lockheed (LESC), A22 =================================== SSE System Project X Windows & Motif on Apollo/PC/Mac Space Station Freedom Phone +1 713 283 5193
