Turbo Pascal v4.0 has an Exec Procedure which allows you to do this with no
problems at all.  You should be able to execute any DOS command-line command or
program with this procedure.  I have used this procedure to run CHKDSK on my
disks and it works fine.

Its documented in then manual.  Unfortunately, I don't have it here at this
moment to tell you which pages but I think you could find, it.

By the way, it takes two paramters, one is the path and command to execute,
the other is the parameter to be passed.

I hope this helps.
