Keywords: DOS loader Message-ID: <8831@megaron.arizona.edu> Date: 22 Jan 89 23:54:18 GMT Organization: U of Arizona CS Dept, Tucson Lines: 12 Are there any free csh() clones good enough to really replace command.com entirely, or does someone at least have a loader I can snarf? OK, what's the right way load load and run subprograms from a DOS C program? system() loads a copy of COMMAND.COM to do its dirty work, right? exec*() functions never return to the caller, right? Thanks for any and all suggestions, -- | Clint Jeffery, University of Arizona Department of Computer Science | cjeffery@arizona.edu -or- {noao allegra}!arizona!cjeffery --
