(I'll go and see the sources of the MiNTLib any way.)

I thought it was you who ansered me the first time but it was Guido Flohr.
Whatever. What he told me is corresponding to what you told me except that he
didn't talk about opening a new shell. Besides, I realised that I can't pass a
command line to the popen'ed program. That's useless.

You can if you want. It won't harm nobody.  ;-)

Either you post me the same example code (I'll do my own "translation") or you
could give me the email addresses of Marc-Anton and/or Ingo.

Where's the fun if it's already working fine? What about will I complain?  ;-)
