The solution depends upon the direction of the communication. The
Windows app can use the DPMI interface to talk to the 
 DOS device driver ( enhanced or standard modes ) . The simplest way the
DOS device driver can communicate with the 
 windows app is to set up a shared region in low memory ( not
necessarily low, if enhanced mode is being used ), and
 let a Windows DLL poll it from time-to-time. This is not as bad as it
seems, since in enhanced mode the Windows vitual 
 machine is non-premptable, although the DOS boxes are.
