hi, basically im programming in c++ and i am aware that by using system() you can call dos commands.


however is there a c++ function to call UNIX commands?

First result:

Thanks for the prompt reply, just one more question that is probably gunna be a stupid one.

When i try to put "#include <unistd.h>" in my code it returns an error but i need this include statementr for the unix calls - how come it wont let me include this???
