You can put that syntax in a script and use variables with it, etc. Not limited to 2 programs. With 10, you might switch to:

(
./prog < input1 >output1
./prog < input2 >output2
) &

Well then the file it complained about must not exist. "/program1/./prog" is silly. Just use "/program1/prog" and that file must exist. If you can't do:
/program/prog
then putting it in parenthesis will not help.

Do Not Omit Spaces!

that is not what I used.
