Calling a batch file within my app

Hallo,

Env.: Delphi 6 Ent. UP2

From my application I've to call a batch file. This batch file does a few
jobs, which can be take time of one or two hours (or also less time). The
requirements are
- when the batch file is started, the start time should be set (e.g. in a
label)
- my application should return, so that the user is able to work while the
batch is doing his job
- after the batch file has done his job, my application should recognize
this and set the end time (e.g. in a different label)

Any suggestions?

Kind regards
Stephan
