calling an external program
I have a C++ program, and I also have an exe that was not compiled from C++. I want my C++ program to call (execute) the exe program. The C++ program can end when the exe is run. Can someone tell me how to do it ?
Thanks to those who provided the answer!

Read the FAQ, your answer is in there.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
There are several solutions for the Win32 platform including CreateProcess() and ShellExecute().
