It depends on the operating system. On Windows you can do this by pragma
import- ing WinExec, for example.

Hi,

If you use Gnat, look at the package "Gnat.OS_Lib"
and the spawn functions.

On Windows, using the Win32 API or WinApi binding, you can use Winexec
(easiest), CreateProcess, or ShellExec. 

On Unix, there's good old Fork and Exec, or better yet use the Posix binding
to call Start_Process.

You got many responses already but none is compiler and OS independant. If
this is a goal have a look at POSIX. Florist for UNIX/Linux and Win32POSIX for
Windows. The later being available on my homepage.

Pascal.

I emailed a simple routine that uses WinExec. But do try the GNAT OS
paclages.
