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.
