The magic I demonstrated is unlikely to have a prayer of working on the DOS
shell, so that port would need different code anyway. I would therfore
advocate moving the external program spawn into a functuon with seperate POSIX
nd DOS implmentartions. ON POSIX systems, and cygwin, use fork(2), exec*([23])
and wait*(2). If DOS bugs require you to use system(3) then that version of
the code can do that.
