Really? Was going to suggest Swag. I see 4 files in Swag
alone. Hrm....
The problem though is the platforms today. What the old
code for Exec did for Dos it may not work properly for
Windows. Especially the new restrictive OS of XP and NT.
What I might suggest is using the Delphi version of the
Exit or old swap setups. Do you have Delphi there?
