Is it possible to call an executable of compiled c code from within LabVIEW?

[alanhomer]

I can compile 'genesis' (the name of the code we are planning to use) under unix: it produces an executable which can be
linked to user-constructed c files which contain specific crossover and/or
mutation strategies, so once a user has the executable, it is not
neccesary to re-compile the main GA everytime a user mucks around with the
combination rules. I think that a question is, can you call the (or any)
executable from within LabView?

Thanks

You can call executables using the System Exec VI, which can be found in the Communications palette.
