For the purpose of writing an alternative WINSTUB.EXE, I need to be able
to detect whether windows is running.  That is, how does a program
detect whether it is running in `native' MS-DOS or in an MS-DOS window?

email direct and I'll post a summary -- any programming environment is
fine (MSC, BORLAND, asm, etc...).

Thanks...
