hi
Is it possible to open an executable program like NOTEPAD(win)
using C-Program...(othe r than the function system() )? if so,please
provide me with an eg code...if not why?
Thanks in advance.

When you said "open" I presume you meant "execute". If you want to
really just open a file, the fopen is there to help you.
If you want to execute any program, then the only standard C call is
system().
<OT Call="POSIX">
My system has another set of calls exec* (execl,execv, etc.)
(#include <unistd.h>), which comes close (but for sure it's not same.)
You could refer the manuals of your compiler to see if it has something
similar and it has things that meets your needs.
However, note that this is Off-Topic to discuss further about
non-standard C calls further here. If you further have doubts regarding
the call, then please take to relevant (OS and/or Compiler specific) group.

There is no way in standard C to execute another program other than
the system() function. There may be other methods available on your
system; if you want more information, you'll need to ask in a
newsgroup that's specific to your system (not comp.lang.c).

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

If you want a Windows-specific answer (as your question sort of implies)
then you might do better to crosspost to a Windows programming newsgroup
- posting to an OS/2 programming group won't help much!
OTOH, if it *is* OS/2 help you require, please ask again.

However, he's unlikely to be able to run "NOTEPAD (win)" with exec* -
for that he probably needs CreateProcess or CreateProcessEx - that
should give him enough to google for if he can't find an appropriate
windows-specific newsgroup.

It was suggested as more fitting than "OT" for Meta Topical Advice,
and it sounded reasonable to me. If it's doing more harm than good,
I'll be happy to continue using "OT".

possible and will it cause any complications?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
