Running a DOS program and closing its window after running it


    When you run a DOS program in Windows95, its window remains open until
    closed by the user. To run a Dos program that closes its windows after
    running, you must specify "command.com /c program" in the
    command line. Using WinExec API function to run a program named progdos.exe,
    the call should be:




      WinExec("command.com /c progdos.exe",sw_ShowNormal);




    If you wish that the program is run hidden from the user, the second
    parameter must be sw_Hide. You must specify the .com extension, or the program will not run.
