Default starting a msdos exe from excel

I have old Fortran papplication that saves results into a text file. Author
of program, can rewrite it so format is not the problem, he could rewrite
it to XML text file or something like that.
The problem is: how to execute that exe from a VBA sub (and to stop
executing the next line of the sub until Fortran exe saved data into text
file).
I should import result data from text file in the next few lines of the same
sub.
