The question is strange. Can you give more details?
I think the question is off-topic here, but you should be
a little more clear when asking questions.

 

[nringty]

what i want to do is join two programs together... i know it can be
done but im not sure how.

Do you have two C sources and want to compile them together?

 

[nringty]

this is what i want ..u open one source and from that source.... u can
open other sources.

Please quote context when replying. Other people are seeing this
and you have to let them know what you are talking about.

Are you sure you're talking about different sources or already
compiled applications?

Tell me if this is right:

You have a file called p1.c and you compile it to p1.exe.
You have another file called p2.c and you compile it to
p2.exe.
Now you execute p1.exe and you want it to execute p2.exe?
If yes, the you can use the "system" function that you can find in
stdlib.h.
How you use the function depends on the implementation.

Different OSes give you the exec family of functions for more control.
There's also the option of creating dynamically linked libraries.
However, these are way off-topic here as they depend heavily on
your system.

Quote context even when replying to your own posts.
I see you use GMail's interface. This is not a regular
Google group. This is NNTP.

You can snip my signature when posting a reply (follow-up)
as it's not important to our discussion. Thank you for
quoting context and not top-posting.

If that's what you want, then you can either use the family of
exec functions which depend on the system you are using or
you can use the system function in stdlib.h but its behavior is
implementation dependent. You should read the documentation
for your implementation to learn how you can use it successfully.

thanks... i'll try it now.

You're welcome.
Another observation: don't snip the name of the original poster.
You can snip the signature and anything that's irrelevant to the
discussion. Leave the name there (like: Nelu wrote: or nringty wrote
so people can follow the discussion and know who wrote what.

Good man. You appear to learn quickly. I wish all the googlers
were like you. The following references may be of help.
