in reply to print output from system command in real time

If you just call system, it should run and print normally. Do you need to capture the output as well as have it print?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no go. system did the same thing. It just waited for the exe to finish before printing any output. Unfortunatly I don't have access to the code of the actual exe I will be running so no way to modify that code.
