Thanks for the response. I have actually been able to implement that. What I'm really interested in is a way to specify the input name and output name of the file the program I'm calling would use. I know in unix OS it takes the form: 

system(`foo<input>output`)

Where foo is the external program called, while "input" and "output" are the input and output file names. I need the Windows version. Thank you!!
