| How do I run a *.exe program from within my fortran code?
What would the lines of code look like?
Also, how can open the command prompt from within my source code.

It would help if you said what compiler and system you're using.
For spawning another program, look through your manual for a command
like "system", "spawn" or "execute." Probably with some other letters
thrown in to give a system-ish feel to the name.
For reading the command line, look for a command like "getarg" or
"iargc." Something with "arg" in it.

| I'm running Absoft Pro 7.5 in Windows XP Pro. I look through my manual
and see what I can find.
Thanks

| Two points:
Be aware that some intrinsics will start another process, and wait for
its completion, whilst others will start another process and
immediately return
Secondly, can anyone do this for a Lahey .NET compiler (either way) or
g77 (immediate return)

By using the system calls that the operating system provides. This is
highly system specific.
