system(xyz), xyz run in background

Asked by aerol in C Programming Language, C++ Programming Language

Tags:

In some C code I want to use the system() command to start another C program with no connections to the origoinal C program. As I understand it the system() call will not return until the "other" program is done. I want to run the "other" program in the background and I want my main program to continue. How do I do this??? I'm running under Windows only.
