I know that one difference between system.exec() and bbs.exec() is thatãbbs.exec() can run Baja modules and JavaScript scripts and system.exec() is forãrunning native programs, but it seems that bbs.exec() can run native programsãas well (also, the EX_NATIVE flag can be used with bbs.exec() to specify thatãit's a native 32-bit application). So if you need to run a native program fromãa Synchronet JavaScript script, what's the difference between using bbs.exec()ãand system.exec(), and does it matter which one you use?ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã
