Subject: system() with command line options

I have a program that will need to run another program with some
options. The program line looks like success=system(test.exe -d c:\junk\); .
Where test is a self extracting archive. I am using rsxntdj djgpp v2 on
a win95 machine. When this line is executed I get bad command or file name.
Running
test.exe on its own works perfectly. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
I have looked thru the FAQ. My command line is under 126 characters, so I don't
think this is the problem. Any help would be great.
 
Thanks JOnathan Swaby
