Does anyone know if you could make C-interface call that execute a system call or execl to execute a binary file from Wingz? Particularly, this binary file is a Informix 4GL+Forms interactive program. I tried to make a 'system()' to execute the 4GL dialog program, and the HP750 machine just went crasy, beeping forever, and took up all the cpu time updating the screen/cursor. My intent was to use Wingz to creat some simple graphical screens, then upon pushing a push-button I will execute a Informix dialog - as another hpterm or xterm process. Anyone have experience with this? Any hint ro comments? Thanks in advance. -felicia --- Felicia Cheong P. O. Box 1512 Milwaukee, WI 53201 felicia@miller.cs.uwm.edu or felicia@point.cs.uwm.edu
