Alternative to system ()?

[marvolo1300]

Hi,

Im trying code something which will launch an executable file. I have tried system("example") but the only problem is that the file which has been launched has to be closed before the rest of the code is executed. Does anyone have an alternative to this method?

Or CreateProcess which is only for MS-Windows

or wxExecute which is XPlatform if you opt to use wxWidgets
