/** A class that eases the pain of running external
* processes from applications.
* Lets you run a program three ways:
* <OL>
* <LI><B>exec</B>: Execute the command, returning
* immediately even if the command is still
* running. This would be appropriate
* for printing a file.
* <LI><B>execWait</B>: Execute the command, but
* don't return until the command finishes.
* This would be appropriate for
* sequential commands where the first depends
* on the second having finished (e.g.
* <CODE>javac</CODE> followed by
* <CODE>java</CODE>).
* <LI><B>execPrint</B>: Execute the command and
* print the output. This would be appropriate
* for the UNIX command <CODE>ls</CODE>.
* </OL>
* Note that the PATH is not taken into account,
* so you must specify the <B>full</B> pathname to
* the command, and shell builtin commands
* will not work. For instance, on Unix the above
* three examples might look like:
* <OL>
* <LI><PRE>Exec.exec("/usr/ucb/lpr Some-File");</PRE>
* <LI><PRE>
* Exec.execWait("/usr/local/bin/javac Foo.java");
* Exec.execWait("/usr/local/bin/java Foo");
* </PRE>
* <LI><PRE>Exec.execPrint("/usr/bin/ls -al");</PRE>
* </OL>
