calling a Fortran executable from wxMaxima



~~~

How do I (or can I) call a Fortran executable from wxMaxima?
No variables or data need to be passed to Maxima.
The fortran executable writes to its own files.

naively neither: 
 
call("c:/test.exe");  /* or */
run("c:/test.exe") 
load("c:/test.exe") 
batch("c:/test.exe")
c:\"test.exe"; 
etc

seem to execute an external file
