hi, i wish to know if fortran has commands like 'winwait' , 'winwait active' (i found these commands in Autoit) which can be used to run/automate windows applications. i am looking for developing a code which can run a third party program based on some 'IF conditions'.

In your code, delete done.txt then poll for the presence of done.txt in 1s intervals.
