I would like to startup some homemade "device drivers" from my application program. I can't find any Window functions for creating another Windows process. I am suspicious of spawning since you can't run a Windows app from the DOS command line. In other words, I want a system of programs to be initiated when the user starts up the main application window. My second question is for those of you who are using Windows and expanded memory. Has anyone out there had success running Windows/286 (2.1), EGA, an Intel Above Board (or other), and a NetBIOS/Token Ring card all at the same time? This capability is very important to me. I have read previous articles on this net from people who mentioned having expanded memory (like 4 to 6 Meg), EGA, and Windows and doing something with NetBIOS. I have an NCR PC8 with a 1 Mb Above Board and the NCR Token Ring card. Have had absolutely no success at all. Thanx in advance. -- John E. Ramspott -- John E.
