system() command

[arkanoid]

Hi,

I'm trying to use DOS commands from within C code. Some work fine but others give me error. For example, system("dir") works but system("cpu") just produces the shell error: "sh: cpu: not found"

i thought maybe system() defaults to only the commands based in ROM (like Dir). So I used system("c:cpu") and still no luck. anyone know why?

thanks guys. all three solutions work. for this one though i'll probably go with -noixemul as I want to make it portable so i can just edit command #defines for different platforms.
