[comp.windows.ms.programmer] 8514/A weirdness when using WinExec

giguere@csg.waterloo.edu (Eric Giguere) (02/08/91)

This is pretty strange.  I just switched to an 8514/A system and now
when I use WinExec() from a Windows program the DOS screen is blue
with a green border... the border obscures some text.  Very annoying,
and very weird!  Anyone know why?  Is there a workaround other than
putting DOS commands/programs into a batch file that first does a
"mode co80" or some such?
