1. SYSTEM command
Hello All,
When using the SYSTEM or SYSTEM_EXEC built-in functions with Win32, is there any
way to force the DOS window to be minimized? I am writing an application which
uses a sequence of DOS commands via the SYSTEM function, and the multitude of
windows that open and close are very distracting.

One question, what specific commands are you using with SYSTEM ?
Thanks Bernie

I am writing a front-end program for merging source code in a version
control system. For example, I will do something like this:
system("cleartool lstype -kind brtype -short > BRANCHES.TMP", 0)
which causes the VCS to dump a list of code branches to a file. My EU
program reads the file, sorts it, eliminates unwanted branches, etc.. The
VCS has a nice GUI, but to process lists like this you need to use its
command line interface. In other words, I'm not just trying to do a simple
DIR, which is already built-in.
