- I have a:
- - DOS program that calls an I/O routine (I have the source)
- - OS2 character mode application (executable)
- The DOS program generates input for the OS2. Is there any way that the
- DOS program could act as a keyboard - typing data to the OS2 app?
- It seems easy to have the DOS app send data (this could be from a DOS
- box or through a serial port from another computer). The problem is how
- to get the OS2 app to receive the input. In DOS a keyboard TSR could
- do the work - but I dunno how to this in OS2.
-
- Any clues, references, or strategies would be appreciated. I am NOT a
- strong OS2 person.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Aaron
