Hi,

I did this once and it seems to work in most (but not all) cases, at least
on a windows platform, probably works better on unix.

You need to obtain a process by doing something like:

String "c:\program.exe"
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = r.exec(command); // there are lots of variants of this method
InputStream stdout = p.getInputStream(); // input from the process ie STDOUT
InputStream stderr = p.getErrorStream(); // error stream of the process ie
STDERR
OutputStream stdin = p.getOutputStream(); // output to the process ie STDIN

you can them use the streams to read and write to and from the process. In
my experience it is better to send arguments at the command line, it is more
difficult to send commands to a more interactive program.
