ExitExec
                                ========

A very simple utility to allow you to exit Windows, run a DOS program, and
restart Windows when it's finished. Useful for those DOS programs that can't
be run from within Windows.

Installation is easy. Simply put EXITEXEC.EXE ib a convenient directory,
probably somewhere on your PATH. Use Program Manager's "File/New/Program Item"
to add a new icon into a Program Manager group.

The command line format to use is:
	<path>EXITEXEC.EXE <program to run> [<parameters>]

There are certain limitations to the Windows API call that is being used 
for this utility. The key one is that, when Windows exits, there's no 
telling exactly which drive/directory you'll be in. For this reason, it's 
always a good idea to specify the full pathname of the program you want 
to run.

If the program you specify is not an EXE or COM file, EXITEXEC will 
automatically precede the call with "<COMSPEC> /c". THis is because the 
Windows API call doesn't directly allow execution of anything but EXE or 
COM files.

In addition, there's no facility to pause before restarting Windows once 
your program has completed. If you want a pause, it's best to use a batch 
file with a "pause" statement at the end.

This utility is released as Freeware, a gift to all my friends in the online
community. As such, I don't anticipate doing much in the way of support or
enhancement. That said, I'd still appreciate any comments or bug reports.
