I want to make an application which uses another process
(a DOS-application doing some heavy calculations). The
Windows-app must execute the DOS-app, wait for it to be 
finished and read the results from a file. The difficult
part for me is waiting for the DOS-app to be finished.
How can I realise this?

I am using Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5, but if someone
knows the answer in C++, that could also help. 

Is it possible to identify running processes? Or must I
in some way look for the window in which it is running?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, please reply
to r.p.essenius@et.tudelft.nl

Thanks in advance,

Rik Essenius
