[comp.windows.ms] Running an MS-DOS app from Actor

nanga@a.cs.okstate.edu (Nanga Chakradhar R) (10/05/89)

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.
