WDW for Windows - For When You Really need DOS
Copyright 1993 Bruce W. Nunnally, All rights Reserved.
We are now offerring a premium for registering Projector -
a second windows program, WDW.
The technique is simple. WDW closes windows, runs
a dos application, then restarts windows. The advantage
is a stable, fast dos environment, at the price of the
loss of multitasking capability.
WDW is ideal for playing games that need speed - you
start the game just like any other dos icon, but windows
is not running in the background as it is in a normal
dos window, or fullscreen. So all your cpu time goes into
the game, and not into waiting for a task-switch command.
In order to use WDW place the file WDW.exe in your
windows subdirectory, usually c:\windows. Create a batch
file which starts your dos application and place it somewhere
in the path. From Windows Program Manager, use
File|New|Program Item to create an icon for the dos application.
on commandline, type WDW, then the batch file for the
dos application as a parameter to WDW, like this:
commandline: WDW mcgee.bat
you can put the Name as the Name of the game, in this case,
Mcgee.
If you run WDW with no parameter, it will open a dos
shell. If you run the LandMark speedcom program in WDW
and in normal windows dos, you will see the difference.

WDW was formerly distributed as windos. The name has been changed
to protect the innocent.
