There is no standard way of doing this that is portable (indeed even the
notion of an exe file is obviously system dependent).
However, look in GNAT.OS_Lib (in file g-os_lib.ads.
You will find some useful functions there (such as Spawn,
Non_Blocking_Spawn, and Wait_Process) that will allow you to
do this in a manner that is at least portable across GNAT
compilers.
In general there is quite a bit of useful stuff in the GNAt hierarchy,
and we add to it all the time, so be sure to check it out!
