I have no problems using system() to run programs compiled with djgpp, or programs my mate has compiled with Lahey Fortran90, though they are larger than the program I need to run. Only this one old program compiled with an unknown compiler causes problems. MSDOS command MEM (invoked with the same system() command) says that the largest executable program size should be 550K, and the program I try to run is 273K, and still it is too large. Any advice? -- Jari Oksanen -- Lahtis, Finland / Luokta, Suopma / Lahti, Häme.
