Perhaps you could use spawn() with the QIBM_USE_DESCRIPTOR_STDIO variable
set?  I haven't tried it, but from the documentation, it appears that you
could open up descriptors 0,1,2 with open(), and then spawn your C
program, telling it to use those descriptors...

It looks like you could even use pipe() (instead of open()) to pipe the C
program's output back to your RPG program.

Pretty cool, I should experiment with those...
