         ^^^^^^
WRONG!! Take a look at Ian Stewartson's implementation of Shell (sh)
for MSDOS. It contains a working version of both popen() and pclose().
After I posted my question, I downloaded his implementation from
comp.sources.misc and found the response there. It's really neat. You
can use it freelly as long as you acknowledge the source by keeping
the copyright notice in there.

Thanks Ian. BTW, that's the kind of code that should be making it to
Usenet. VIVE FREEWARE!!

Couldn't resist! The debate on Shareware has lasted long enough.
Flames to /dev/null !
