MSDOS Applications

[suess]

well my last issue was baically my lack of understanding php completely.. im a lil curious if there is a way to run MSDos appz like the .coms or some that are listed as .exe's .. i can run any other like uptime.exe by doing:
<?
system("c:\uptime");
?>
but like for example in DOS u can do something like
tree, ver, mem, ETC.. but if i use the same command system("c:\puttheappcmdhere"); i get unable to fork c:\whatevertheappnamewas
** any ideas?? am i doing something wrong ?

Before you worry about running commands likre trrr, ver nen etc, read the PHP manual because nearly everything you can think of is builtin already.
