There has been a lot of information made available on this group about spawning other applications from Windows. But the info given was for WinApps written in 'C'. I have written a Windows application using Actor and I'd like to execute an external DOS program from this. I tried using EXECOUT.EXE dynamic link library (part of EXEC.ZOO) which I downloaded from the Whitewater Group BBS. I could never get any DOS program to be run from Actor as mentioned in their documentation. But using this DLL I could get any Windows program to be run from Actor. I would greatly appreciate any help or advise in this regard. Thanks in advance.
