It depends entirely on what they do. If you can launch them from the
commandline with arguments or with a configuration file, then they go away
and do their job before saving the results to a file or outputting them to
the commandline, then you can use them from Labview via the "exec" function.
You can supply runtime options if predictable keys need to be pressed when
the program starts by piping the contents of a file to it.
If they're truly interactive and you can't predict the inputs needed, then
you're pretty stuffed- Labview can't directly interact with t
he program
while it's running.
