This is not a C question, rather an OS (VMS) problem...nuff said, here's your
answer:

You need to create a "foreign" command with the following syntax from DCL:

   $ program_name :== $disk:[full.path.spec]program_name.exe {Press RETURN}

Now "run" your program by typing:

 program_name parameter1 parameter2 ...  


Hope this helps.
