This can be done by writing the program without windows in any 
language you like, compile it to a .exe and specify it in your windows 
program's .def file instead of winstub.exe.
winstub.exe is a little program that tells you that you need windows 
to run a windows program.  You can change this to be anything you 
want.  It might be some double work, but DOS and Windows are totally 
different environments.
