Is it possible that MS >didn't test dos 5.0 with windows?!!! I, also, am using MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.0. To run a DOS app, create a PIF file for it and then use it. There should be no problem. If the application does some strange things with memory, then Windows may kill it off, but most run just fine. -- || Jesse Chisholm | 137 East Fremont Avenue, #49 || || jesse@Altos86.Altos.COM | Sunnyvale, California || || jesse@Gumby.Altos.COM | U.S.A. 94087-2501 || || Tel INT + 1-408-432-6200x4810 | Fax INT + 1-408-434-0273 ||
