Hi you fellow DJGPP'ers

My name is Christopher I"m a programmer at DaimlerChrysler South
Africa in East London (ie. South Africa).  I'm fairly new in
DJGPP's programming group. I recently did downloads and starting
to get into game programming on my spare time.

Could you please tell me in either C or C++ how to identify the
process id of a running process/program. The reason for this is,
my program is getting input file from another system and triggers
an EDI ( electronic data interchage ) translator to translate the
message into edifact. The problem is if the translator program is
already running I can't issue another trigger, my program has to
wait for that process to finish running. Two process of the
translator cancel out each other the the programs abend. Don't ask
me why... I didn't write the translator program. ( hehehehehehe )

Currently I don't know how to identify a running process within C
or C++. Please note that the translator is the software that the
company bought and I'm not allowed to do any changes to it.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
Chris
