spawn.arc

This arc file contains an alternate _main module for Aztec C 3.4 that will
detach a program linked with it from the CLI from which it was started
(just like db).  The workbench startup is unaffected.

    b - a sample "detaching" program.  It opens a console window, types out
    the arguments that you keyed in.  If you have "arp.library", the
    name of the current directory is also typed out (just to prove that
    the spawned task has the correct current directory - namely that of
    the creator).  When you execute this like:

        b abc asdfasd

    notice that your CLI prompt comes right back while "b" is
    running.  Neat, eh.

    b.c - source code for b.

    makefile - makefile for b

    x_main.c - source code for _main module replacement.


The best way to use this module is to place it on the linker call
somewhere before -lc so that the normal _main module won't be used (see
the makefile).

The original _main.c is copyright 1986, 1987 Manx Software.
