To run an external file you would use system() or system_exec(). I use the
latter in Orac
to execute the built file. Of course, you would have 2 separate programs
executing rather
than dynamically changing the one running program. Still, this would be easier
than newUIOBJ
but it all depends what you are trying to achieve.
