I have a question about firing up a batch file or a DOS app 
under Windows 3.0

I need to start up a batch file as an icon, but as far as I
can see the PIF will not let you do this.  Does anyone know
of a way to fire off a batch file WITHOUT seeing a window
open on the screen?

Related to this, is it possible to spawn a DOS application 
from within a Windows app?  [enhanced mode of course! :) ]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Dan
