Lately I had to use MCC Lattice C 3.04...

I would use the forkvp() call, but when I try I get 3 lovely bombs on my
screen, and it is ruining my whole evening.

Can some king soul talk to me how to do a successful spawn in Lattice ?
In MWC I do a Pexec and it is running, but I would prefer use a more
straight UNIX formalism, and do a fork() or an exec(). (I know the semantics
are not the same at all, but I am only interested in maintaining a portable
coding, and accept the GEMDOS restrictions...)

More on the subject: what do I have to do to transmit to the Pexeced
process a nice environment ? (The doc I have on GEMDOS does not talk
environment about Pexec.) Is the thing set up for me in the child basepage
by Pexec ? or what ? (I *need* to transmit a nice environment.)

Please help my code.

Have a better year.
