Cross Platform Way To Execute A Program

[James Parsons]

System();

is bad, I get that. Is there another way, that works across platforms I can use to execute an external program. If not, is there a windows specific way.

windows has quite a few iirc in the winapi. however, i have heard that there is a boost one that is pretty decent
