windows 3.11
Hello all,
I am in a rather strange posistion. I was asked to develop a program that
will run on a 3.11 machine and will call a 3.11 windows program. How can you
call a 3.11 windows program?? In pyth_w311 the 3.11 version of python there
is no such thing as system and in the pyth_dos version of python that there
is os.system I get the message "You are already running microsoft windows".
Any ideas??

Regards,
Zach

this is a wild guess, but if you run pyth_dos in a dos box under Win
3.11, will
os.system("start mywinapp") work? From the error message,I'm assuming
the line
that give the error is os.system("win mywinapp").
