    Hi,

    How can you get console windows exes to run in dos?

    Thanks.

      Go to DOS prompt, CD to directory containing .EXE file and then type the filename.

      P.S. I am sure this does not answer your question but perhaps you need to rephrase your question.

      Fast way:

      Open the folder containing your file.

      Click Start->Run

      Type "cmd"  for WinNT, 2K, or XP
      -or-
      "command" for Win9x
      (both with no quotes)

      then you should get a black console screen.  Click on your file and drag and drop it into the window.  The full path will appear in the prompt.  Then make the dos window active by clicking on it and hit enter.
