calling a dos executable

[psnead]

Is it possible to call a dos command line executable without having the dos window open.

I am calling a program that was written for DOS with a windows dialog using the system command.
system(&quot;.exe< file.txt&quot;
I understand why the dos window pops up, but is it possible to call this executable without the dos window popping up?

Try &quot;START /B .exe <file.txt&quot;. Take a look to START help.
