Child processes

[ojpotter at fred.cs.washington.edu]

Please forgive me if this an extremely easy problem to fix but I have gone
through all the reference manuals I have and talked to everyone I know who
knows C.

My problem is that I want to run an executable from my program, passing it
parameters, and get the value the executable returns and proceed with my
program.  I'm working with Microsoft C 6.0, but I want it to be Unix/Xenix
portable.  Please send me mail if you have a solution.  Thanks in advance.
