Has anyone out there tried to get one windows task to spawn another task in
Windows/286? 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
