    executed exe does not close

    hi,

    have a little problem,

    system and spawnl works fine but with specific programs (my problem is with hardcopy) the dos-box does not close.
    Is there any possibilty to do that ??

    if you dont know hardcopy its a little tool which enables you to make nice screenshots with the print key.

    thx for any help

    As you want to close a dos-box I presume you're using Windows. If you want more control over a process then you could start it with CreateProcess() and end it with TerminateProcess(). Both are declared in windows.h.
