   I have been playing around with WINOS2 (for fun), and noticed that the
WinExec call does not seem to function.  I seem to remember something from
a while back talking about this.

   The question is: Is there any way that I can have a Windows program
under WINOS2 execute a small DOS .exe??  Or is it simply not to be done?  Or
have I missed something really basic?

Thanks,
Marty
