Thanks Dave, But, No. I'm sorry, It doesn't, See I real new to Pascal.
Just over a month, Any way if you have time. This is how I tried to run
it.
Exec('CMD.EXE /C ' + util + ' i' + ParamStr(0) + 'work\addata.dat' +
forsale + ' ' + ParamStr(0) + 'work\userdata.dat');
util:= 'path\filename'; // The utils program it self, In a Variable
addata:= Command line option for Util
userdata:= Command line option for util
