function ExecuteProcess(FileName: string; Visibility: Integer; BitMask: Integer; Synch: Boolean): Longword;

Value               Meaning
SW_HIDE            :Hides the window and activates another window.
SW_MAXIMIZE        :Maximizes the specified window.
SW_MINIMIZE        :Minimizes the specified window and activates the next top-level window in the Z order.
SW_RESTORE         :Activates and displays the window. If the window is minimized or maximized,
                    Windows restores it to its original size and position. An application should
                    specify this flag when restoring a minimized window.
SW_SHOW            :Activates the window and displays it in its current size and position.
SW_SHOWDEFAULT     :Sets the show state based on the SW_ flag specified in the STARTUPINFO
                    structure passed to the CreateProcess function by the program that started the application.
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED   :Activates the window and displays it as a maximized window.
SW_SHOWMINIMIZED   :Activates the window and displays it as a minimized window.
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE :Displays the window as a minimized window. The active window remains active.
SW_SHOWNA          :Displays the window in its current state. The active window remains active.
SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE  :Displays a window in its most recent size and position. The active window remains active.
SW_SHOWNORMAL      :Activates and displays a window. If the window is minimized or maximized,
                    Windows restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this
                    flag when displaying the window for the first time.

//FileName: the name of the program I want to launch
//Bitmask:   specifies the set of CPUs on wich I want to run the program
    //the BitMask is built in the following manner:
    //I have a bit sequence: every bit is associated to a CPU (from right to left)
    //I set the bit to 1 if I want to use the corrisponding CPU, 0 otherwise
    //for example: I have 4 processor and I want to run the specified process on the CPU 2 and 4:
    //the corresponding bitmask will be     1010 -->2^0 * 0 + 2^1 * 1 + 2^2 * 0 + 2^3 * 1 = 2 + 8 = 10
    //hence BitMask = 10
//Synch: Boolean --> True if I want a Synchronous Execution (I cannot close
//my application before the launched process is terminated)
