- Is it possible for a DOS program to communicate with Windows? Can you do
- stuff like get the task list, change the active task, etc. from a custom
- made DOS app? I have a TP6 unit that can detect the presence of various
- multi-taskers, and can allow you to do stuff like give up the rest of your
- time slice, but what I'd really like to do is have a DESQview-like menu that
- I can popup from DOS (for those times when all I want to do is switch between
- DOS tasks). I know that Alt-Tab can do this, but it's kinda annoying, and
- Ctrl-Esc kicks you back into graphics mode. Is this at all possible?
-
- Erick.
