The exec function in lattice 2.12 does not setup the two default FCB's,
and command needs these to be set up.  Any other program which uses
the default FCB's will not work correctly.

I believe that LATTICE C release 2.13 has alleviated this problem. Their
technical bulletin # TB840914.001 reads

	The construction of default FCB's did not stop when an argument
	beginning with a slash was reached. This caused problems for some
	older programs that relied on the FCB setup done by the MSDOS
	command processor.

The bulleting states that this problem has been corrected with the fork
function (exec).  In release 2.13 Lattice has also created a Unix-like
system call. system ("dir a:") will call the command processor to display
the contents of the directory from drive a:
