- This utility uses a feature of Windows 3.1+ to exit windows, run a DOS
- application and then automatically re-start Windows. This program is
- useful for running DOS programs which are not compatible with Windows
- 3.1 (such as Kommander Keen, Wing Commander and such). FREEWARE
-
- Usage:
-
- To run programs from the command line, setup EWEXEC like any other
- Windows program into a Program Manager (or other shell) group. For the
- "Command line" entry, enter the name of the DOS application you want to
- run.
-
- progman entry ex.
-
- Description: This is My Program
- Command Line: EWEXEC MYPROG.EXE XYZ
-
-
- I suggest you set up a batch file for each DOS application you want to
- run in this way. If I wanted to run Wolfenstein 3D here is how I would
- set it up.
-
- In Program Manager:
- Description: Wolfenstein 3D
- Command line: EWEXEC WOLF3D.BAT -next
-
- In WOLF3D.BAT:
- @echo off
- CD \GAMES\WOLF3D
- WOLF3D %1
- :end
-
- Make sure that WOLF3D.BAT is in your path.
-
-
- EWEXEC has been tested with:
- Major Stryker
- Wolfenstein 3D
- Kommander Keen (all of them)
- Cosmo's Cosmic Adventures
- Wing Commander II
- Captain Comic II
- Gretzky Hockey I & III
-
- I also use it to drop out of Windows at night to perform some automated
- system maintenence.
