- What I'm asking really isn't so complex...I want to start an OS/2
- editor from my DOS mail reader. An OS/2 unzipper from my DOS term
- program.
-
- I don't mind setting up complex .cmd files for it. I don't mind
- compiling something special in DOS.
-
- Is there any, any way to launch an OS/2 program from a DOS box. Or is
- there any way to signal a "lurking" OS/2 program to wake up from a DOS
- box. Or is the only way to make a batch file that polls the file
- system for a flag (YUUUUCH!)?
