- To anyone who has had experience creating DOS executables using Borland
- C++ 4.5: HELP!!!...seriously, if you can answer this question, i would
- really appreciate it. if you can send me an answer by e-mail, that would
- be great, but i'll monitor this group anyway (someone else may benefit
- from your answer). here's the problem, the steps i take, and the results
- i get:
-
- after writing the program, it compiles error-free and runs in the little
- window inside the IDE.
-
- i then invoke the Target Expert to begin creating the DOS executable.
-
- the tagert parameters are set and the file is created after re-compiling.
-
- i shell out to DOS and try to run the program.
-
- DOS says i have to run the program in Windows.
-
- WHY?
-
- These are very small (20-line) programs just for testing. all they do is
- prompt for input and perform simmple math operations. i have tried many
- different combinations of settings in the Target Expert to try to fix
- this, but to no avail. can you help?
-
- thanks a lot in advance,
