[comp.windows.ms] Windows-Aware DOS Applications

cb@sequoia.execu.com (Christopher D. Brown) (08/20/90)

I am reposting the following.  Several folks have expressed an interest
but no direct responses have been offered.  Perhaps the DDDK holds some
clues.
------------------
- MS Word 5, MS Multiplan, and Softbridge Bridge demonstrate that an MS-DOS
- application can sense the Windows environment and interact with Windows
- objects (e.g. clipboard) and applications.  The SDK (beta version) does
- not (seem to) document the facilities required for this functionality.
- Can anyone provide or point me to information which will help me
- reproduce this functionality?  My end goal is to allow DOS applications
- to carry on DDE conversations with Windows applications.
-
- Thanks in advance ... I will summarize any useful email responses.
