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.

Subject: executing a file from within a program

Is there any ada command that will allow me to launch another exe file?
