How can I link to an application like BMax does?

Do you mean execute an application from within your program?

There are three ways you can do this:

1) system_ "filepath.exe" (Waits for the new program to exit before continuing)
2) OpenURL( "filepath.exe" ) (Allows your program to continue while this new program is running)
3) Pub.FreeProcess (Allows you to read and write data to the new process, and terminate the process if needed)
