I need a call similiar to the unix "system" to put into a uucp 
program to do the uuxqt part.

Has anyone out there in netland gotten around to implementing
a method of calling another program with proper return to the
calling program when finished? For example similiar to the 
unix "system" call. 

Do any of the Mac C compilers have this type of a routine. I'm
using Aztec, and have check MPW, neither seem to have it.

Aztec does have exec in various forms, but really just gives you
chaining.
