Using Shell to run a DOS program

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Alejandro,

Are you sure that the file name should contain an additional space?

> "file:C:\CRC32OUTPUT.txt "

You give very little information. Does crc32 do anything at all when called from LiveCode? Errors? Files created? Anything? Nothing?
