Two things.
Try the Windows group news:comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, it is
excellent and has a good traffic level and response rate.
And there is no alternative standard C library call to system(). This
is the one and only function that allows a C program to possibly
interact with other executables. All others are non-standard,
platform specific extensions. The methods you find for Windows will
not work at all on Linux or a Macintosh.
