I need to find a way to position the starting window coords for non-WINDOWS
applications. Some of our support engineers run dual-VGA systems to support
our mostly non-WINDOWS application. When these applications are executed,
they start in a seemingly random position when run in a window. Nothing
in the PIF information is related to a startup coord. position. This
causes problems on the dual-VGA system since many windows are spread
over both screens.

Is there some low-level trick to modify DOS apps starting coords. or am I
just overlooking something obvious?

   Thanks,
