- I have a need to start a full screen program from a Presentation Manager
- program. The program need to run in it's own session, and not be
- terminated when the PM app is ended (in other words, I need to be able
- to do a 'start /fs progname' from within my PM program. I am using
- EMX/GCC and have tried both "spawnl(P_SESSION|P_FULLSCREEN,.....)" which
- started the FS program just fine, but killed it when the PM program was
- closed, and "system("start /fs progname)" which hung the machine!
-
- Any help is appreciated,
- thanks in advance,
