Hi,

i'm writing a win32 application. I need the code to :
- start a "win32 console application" (a MSDOS EXE file)
- write to its STDIN
- read from its STDOUT
But with a thread, i think, not to "lock" the main application.

Thanks for your help.

No you do not need a thread. Windows is a multitasking operating system
which means that one program does not stop another program from running.

But this has nothing to do with C++, which is the topic of this group. You
should ask on a Windows programming group such as
Ask about the CreateProcess Win32
API function, it does what you need.

I am unable to locate a C++ question here. Perhaps you have the wrong
group? Please re-read the welcome message, paying particular attention
to the section on topicality.
