Hi,

I am writing manufacturing feature modeling example in lisp/CLOS and
I would like to call netscape to display built vrml model.

How do I call WinNT programs from lisp? I looked in all my manuals and I
coud not find it. I use Harlequin Lispworks.

Use WIN32::OPEN-PIPE, e.g.

  (win32::open-pipe :application-name "c:\\windows\\notepad.exe")

Or SYS:CALL-SYSTEM-SHOWING-OUTPUT; This is undocumented, but similar
to the Unix version, see <URL:http://www.xanalys.com/software_tools/re
ference/lwu41/lwref/LWRM_411.HTM>.

You might also want to use DDE to control Netscape; Those functions
are described in the LWW Reference Manual.
