- I want to make an application which uses another process
- (a DOS-application doing some heavy calculations). The
- Windows-app must execute the DOS-app, wait for it to be
- finished and read the results from a file. The difficult
- part for me is waiting for the DOS-app to be finished.
- How can I realise this?
-
- I am using Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5, but if someone
- knows the answer in C++, that could also help.
-
- Is it possible to identify running processes? Or must I
- in some way look for the window in which it is running?
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated, please reply
- to r.p.essenius@et.tudelft.nl

- Thanks in advance,
