I'm also suspicious of a function called "Exec" that takes so few parameters.
What goes on inside this function ?  Do you know ?  Does it call DosExecPgm()
after massaging "Prog" and "Parm" into appropriate form ?  Does it run the
program indicated by "Prog" directly or does it just pass everything to
%COMSPEC% in the hope that the command interpreter will sort everything out ?
How "smart" is it ?  How thick a layer on top of the actual underlying
operating system API is it ?
