execl()'ing batch files in DOS

     char option[] = "/c";
     char *comspec;

     if (msdos_version <= 3)
        option[0] = getswitchar();       /* Turbo C 2.0 */
     else 
        printf ("Please upgrade to UNIX\n");
        
     if ((comspec = getenv("COMSPEC")) == NULL)
        comspec = "/command.com";
     execl (comspec, comspec, option, "tryit.bat", (char *) NULL);
     perror ("execl");

I have not tested this.
