Hi netters, I've noticed that Word for Windows and Excel are both able to force Windows to start up if they are run from the DOS prompt. I was wondering if anyone knows how I could force my own program to do this? Please reply to me by e-mail as it reaches me three weeks more quickly than this newgroup does (seriously). I will summarize to the net. Thanks, Philip. -- | Philip Craig | ACSnet,Ean,CSnet: philipc@runxtsa.runx.oz.au | | RUNX Unix Timeshare | Arpa: philipc%runxtsa.runx.oz.au@UUNET.UU.NET | | Wahroonga NSW 2076 | Janet: philipc%runxtsa.runx.oz.au@UK.AC.UKC | | Australia | UUCP:{uunet,mcvax}!munnari!runxtsa.runx.oz.au!philipc|

I will summarize to the net. write your own stub program that exec's Windows with the given program as the first parameter. argv[0] should be win, argv[1] could be "/3" or "/s" or "/r" or nothing. The next argv should be the program you wanna run under Windows.
