In Delphi, I recall that there is an Exec procedure for calling another .exe, and a Chain procedure for transferring to another .exe. I assume that these are also in FPC/Lazarus, but I haven't found any Lazarus documentation for these calls. Could somebody tell me where to look?

If I understand your necessity...

Process1: TProcess;
.
.
.
Process1.CurrentDirectory := DiretoryTools;
Process1.CommandLine := DiretorioTools + 'converte "' + lbProSel.Items [i] + '" (width 2048 macropath "' + DiretorioTools +
'" profile "' + DiretorioTools + NomeMacro +
'" framesize min';
Process1.Execute;

TProcess

That was what I needed. Using that as the search term got me the relevant documentation.

Thanks!

try
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Executing_External_Programs CreateProcess() is the principal function call.

Thanks! I found it after somebody mentioned TProcess.
