#No RUN

<SIGH> This all sounds familiar, Ben. As I said before, give me a two or
twenty line C program that will run a C: program, such as TYPE or Echo from
either CLI or Workbench, sending it's output to a file specified by the
parent, and where it makes no difference whether the parent or the child
terminates first. If there is a problem with spawning the child, the parent
should *tell me about it*.
That is real multitasking power, the greatest strength of the Amiga IMHO,
and it is only possibly (to my knowledge) with arp.library, currently.
That is something (not the only thing) new that arp has brought to the
amiga, something that most folks have been yelling about since Kickstart
V29.
Well, guess you haven't looked to closely at ARexx, then, because ARexx can
do it just fine… Either from a script, or, you can invoke your c: command
VIA arexx from a executing program that was written in c or modula or
whatever. Same principal, probably – the library is managing the streams,
not the program. So. There, I showed you one. <grin>
