- How are we supposed to run the development tools without opening a window?
- This thing that says "MS-DOS prompt" actually runs 'cmd.exe'. I'm still
- not sure if this is a true DOS window or just capable of executing DOS
- apps, but I know I have to open it to use the debuggers and compiler.
- When you say its stable if you do not run the windows subsystem, I sure
- hope you mean the Win 3.1 subsystem!
