I am aware of the WinExec function. It is capable of calling an DOS executable
from windows. It does switch to text mode, execute the program and then
returns to Windows. I want to have something better, is this possible?

- possibility to make DOS program invisible (Windows keeps visibile, no
  way to see DOS program is running)
- redirect DOS output to some file for postprocessing
- even better DOS program in parralel with windows program interpreting
  its output.

Has anyone ever investigated such thinks. It would enable integrating
DOS tools (e.g. all kinds of filters) into windows programs etc.
