I have a program which invokes another program via an exec-type call
("system()" in C).  In mess-dos so far, this means your calling program
goes away until the new program has done its stuff.  My calling program
needs to know where the called program got loaded in memory.  Does
anyone have any hints on how to do this?  

As I see it, there are several possibilities:
1) write a "command.com" replacement to do the program load.  UGH!
2) intercept the DOS program exit function.  Messy but possible. Interferes
   with my program.
3) something else that I haven't realized yet.

Any help will be appreciated.  There might even be some free software
in it for you!

Thanks,
