I have 4GL programs running on W2K server that need services only available in Unix (Interex). There is no RPC between these two environments (at least not from Interex). I can write a C-Hook to invoke a process (i.e. system() call). What are the rules for launching a UNIX (Interex) process on the same server? How do I set up the environment? Do I have to run a unix shell that in turn runs a unix process? Are there examples of how to
do this in the documentation. I can't find them.

I figured it out. You run a .cmd (or .bat) file, set the UNIX environment variables and then run the UNIX command using the posix[.exe] windows command.
Sorry for not digging further before the post. Perhaps this will help another newcomer.

Just a couple of points:
It's "Interix", not "Interex" (the latter makes pools).
You can do RPC's with Interix as you can with other Unix systems.
Some good samples of using POSIX.EXE are the menu entries done at installation.
Plus the man pages "posix" and "psxrun" are good references.
