Using C library functions from LiveCode Builder

[Peter TB Brett]

Hi all,

I've was asked to provide an example of how to use LiveCode Builder's 
foreign function interface (FFI) to call non-LiveCode functions in C 
libraries.  So, I've written a blog post that describes how to run a 
shell command from LCB using the C standard libraries "system()" 
function.

I'd be interested to read your comments. :-)

P.S. Thank you for all the great replies to the "What are you working 
on?" thread.  It's been really fascinating reading!  Don't forget that 
I'm keen to highlight your open source projects in the This Week in 
LiveCode newsletter -- please get in touch if you have anything to 
include.
