I am not sure how closely you want to interact with the app, but if you are just wanting to have the user click a button/menu entry to start it and have it running as a totally separate process, you can do that via a Shellexec command, you can run anything 16 bit, open a Command window etc - I have done this to start batch files and DOS apps for instance.

You cant graft it in but you can capture output from dos console windows and do what you like with it. Of course you are right out of luck with graphical apps. Shoot the user if still using these. ---------------------------------------------------------- Phil Scadden, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
