I am writing a shell program which will ask a password after boot.
After that, my program will just get a DOS command and invoke COMMAND.COM
to execute it. (Similar to the program in Ray Duncan's Advanced MSDOS book).
So When I write Shell=/mypath/myshell in CONFIG.SYS this will give the error
Bad or missing interpreter (as expected).
So How can My shell load COMMAND.COM to come over this, is this possible?
(I am writing  in TURBO-C 2.00).
Any help will be appreciated.
Please E-mail directly to me. I will Summarize the answers.
