Re: Wireless- We're buying electric utilities this quarter, Babu. Good luck with your script thing. If you're a C programer, and have that type of scripting need with any frequency, you should probably learn Perl. -JCJ

your investments are our investments. BTW if you and your 100 closest friends are interested in good investments be sure and contact us about the no. one software company to come out in this century. basically I guess a shell program can run any command line thingie but a C function by its baby self is verboten. Even in the "C" shell I guess. But a mini C program that basically is one function can be "exec"-uted. You should investigate JAVA which has lower overhead though slower in execution of tasks than C. It depends on what you want done. and the relation of overhead in launching and memory and garbage collection to functional tasks. If you want to execute programs that interrelate and send commands to each other you should investigate "Expect". Python is a good language to do shell environment stuff and so is PERL if you are character oriented. EC<:-}
