- Are there any programs (commercial, shareware, public domain, anything)
- that will allow a DOS program running in a window to issue Windows commands or
- control a DLL, OLE, etc.?
-
- I have a need to use Paradox 3.5 (Borland still says summer of '92, last I
- heard, for Paradox for Windows. Late Summer.), and have it cue Windows
- programs. I thought about using the Recorder to catch a keystroke, and have it
- control both Paradox, copy from the screen, and then cue the other program, but
- it's too dependent on screen positioning.
-
- Any suggestions? Please e-mail to jjfink@skcla.monsanto.com, as I don't read
- these sections very often.
